The core tenet of competency-based education is a focus on mastery of a skill or ability. The shift in focus in social work education to a competency-based approach can be applied and understood in varying ways. The current research study examined the use of waiver exams as one iteration of competency-based education in social work education. Forty seven of the 496 programs that replied to the survey indicated they offered some form of placement testing or the use of waiver exams. Further examination of program level policies suggests that social work educators continue to focus on policies and practices aligned with traditional seat-time requirements that run contrary to the principles of competency-based education. Results implicate the need for social work education to examine its commitment to competency-based education in all its forms or to at least encourage research in nontraditional approaches aligned with competency-based education including waiver exams and prior learning assessment.

This article describes three programs that Kentucky is using to link the classroom and the field practice of students and social workers. The state has developed a consortium of educational partnerships with nine state universities. This consortium has allowed for creative student educational experiences and child welfare placements at the baccalaureate level, master's-level education with a focus on agency needs and capacities, and a post-employment program that allows for evaluation of new worker abilities and knowledge base. Kentucky continues to improve both social work education and public child welfare practice with its innovative approaches to student and social worker development.
