Social work agencies may have a formalized evaluation process that is revisited on a regular schedule. Or their practices may be informal and on an as-needed basis, conducted mostly by independent social workers. To what extent have you observed or experienced evaluation practices at your agency? If you have not yet done so, talk with your Field Instructor (supervisor) about evaluation and how it is conceptualized and implemented there.
In this Assignment, you report on the frequency of evaluation at your agency, the support and tools offered, and how the agency uses the data gleaned through evaluation.
