Summary:Although many programs utilize field education outcomes in their overall assessment plan, there are few models for how to use these data for continuous quality improvement, especially when benchmarks have been met. This article presents a model for developing a field-based intervention to improve the incorporation of policy-related content in field. It is grounded in one school's experience with the 2008 EPAS policy competency, which outcome data showed to be among the lowest competencies over several years in this school's BASW and MSW programs. Implications for enhancing curriculum content and improving the connection between classroom and field are considered.
