SWK 285 - ESSENTL SKILLS/HELP PEOPL

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Social Work

Description:

This is a course for social work majors and minors who wish to practice skills as they are carried out in professional social work practice. Students will engage in Problem-Based Learning, a cooperative learning experience in which the skills introduced in our social work sequence up to SWK 200 Professional Context of Practice, will be reinforced and practiced as students follow a case study from engagement and assessment to termination and evaluation. These skills will include developing empathy, creating professional relationships, active listening, strength-based assessment, self-assessment, policy analysis and advocacy, social work record keeping, practice evaluation, and the use of supervision in practice. Students develop an appreciation for life-long learning by engaging actively in a real social work case study, which provides the vehicle for the hands-on practice of course material. The course will count as an elective in the social work program.
