SWK 304 SWK Practice III: Org & Comm
This third of 3 practice course offerings will introduce students to the generalist social work method of practice with organizations and communities (macro practice). It will include training in the strength-based, solution-focused problem solving approach, encompassing the skills of engagement, data-collection, assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation and termination. The overall purpose of the course is to help students develop social work knowledge and skills in translating social work practice philosophy into sustainable, ethical social work in diverse situations involving organizations and communities. Students will already have been exposed to practices with individuals through Practice I (micro) and will also be exposed in Practice II to practice with families and groups (mezzo practice). Students will utilize their experience from their Field Seminar placement experience to interact with information in this course. The development of an integrated biblical model of social work delivery will be explored. 3 credits
