Social work education currently prepares the beginning practitioner, but it does not offer preparation for becoming a teacher of social work as a field instructor. This study sought to explore BSW and MSW field instructor competency through the views of field directors/coordinators of CSWE-accredited programs who recruit, train, and work with agency-based social work field instructors. Field directors/coordinators (N= 180) rated the integration of classroom and field learning highest as a training issue for their field instructors, and they ranked their instructors weakest in their ability to integrate classroom and field. No statistically significant differences were reported between BSW and MSW field instructors in strengths, concerns, or training issues. The exploratory survey instrument and a self-assessment variation are appended as possible assessment and measurement tools for field instructors, directors, and liaisons to improve standards and enhance outcome measures for quality improvement and accreditation purposes.
