January 17, 2014 ~ Expectations of my internship and course work.

Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence (DCADV) is my site location however; I will not physically be in place until Tuesday, January 21, 2014. I have had the opportunity to meet with my site supervisor, Mariann Kenville-Moore, LCSW, Director of Policy. My expectation of this internship is to have a clear understanding of my position and their expectations of me as an intern. I expect to review the needs of the DCADV and how I will best serve to help DCADV meet those needs. I expect my site supervisor to describe the outcome that is expected, including the criteria that must be met, list the reasons why, and discuss the roles, responsibilities and authority of everyone within the DCADV. Most importantly, I expect to establish and discuss learning goals and create a learning contract to allow me to document how, when, how often, with whom, etc., the learning goals are accomplished. The learning contract, as discussed in class, is a tool to formalize my responsibilities, goals, and objectives, and how the objectives will be met and assessed. I expect these elements to be outlined on paper. This will allow me to assess my own progress, as well as allow Ms. Kenville-Moore to assess my work and contributions. We should both have a clear understanding of the expectations of my experience and what the final results should be. Finally, to strategize how the DCADV staff members expectations will mesh with my role as a Wilmington University (WilmU) intern. How my position will rely on the work of another, ensure that my duties and schedules align and that I can coordinate to assist and learn from all qualified DCADV staff members to meet the needs of DCADV will meeting the requirements of WilmU. The following is a list of additional expectations: Quality supervision and guidance Useful and timely feedback Workplace dignity and respect Professionalism and punctuality Teamwork and a positive work environment

My goal is to make this the best learning experience possible and to proudly represent Wilmington University. With my course work I hope to gain firsthand knowledge of the human services field. I will enjoy taking what I learn from this class and being able to use it in my job and other graduate classes as well as at my site location. At the present time, my technology knowledge is minimal (e-portfolio), but sure to grow by leaps and bounds upon class completion. As my knowledge of this process grows, my nervousness will decrease. My expectation from this class is to be able to gain new knowledge about human services and learn how to apply that knowledge as a human

services specialist. I am excited about creating my e-portfolio and hope I can retain everything I learn in class.
