    Hi everyone,
    pls am looking for a practice teacher for my work placement. I study social work degree at Robert Gordon university in Scotland and to the school procedure befoe the intake, we meant to get our placement and practice teacher on our own and the school we fund it. i mean pay the practice teacher for the duration of my placement. i live in Dublin but its really hard to find private practice teacher. pls i need ur help
    Thats hard having to find yr own, esp if it is at same times as the universities do placements here, which is sept-dec and jan- apr as it is hard enough for them to get all the placements they need. Hav u tried other online sw forums? The iasw?
    Good luck

    When they say "full time" is this a couple of days a week 9-5 or is it 5 days a week?

    They will give you a reading list in sept when you start but I looked a lot at Pamela Trevithick and Neil Thompson for the interview and before I started. It's not all that bad you will enjoy it I literally just finished it up in April, the two years fly.
