SWK 482 - INTEG GEN SWK PRACT SEM I

Institution:
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania
Subject:
Social Work
Description:
This seminar, the first of two for foundation-level MSW students, begins an effective bridge to align the liberal arts perspective expected of entering graduate-level students and the advanced level family-in-environment content. The following concepts will be introduced and reinforced: the history and philosophy of the social work profession, social work values and ethics, the Generalist Intervention Model of Social Work, populations at risk, cultural diversity, promotion of social and economic justice, and fields of social work practice. The Seminars complement the Field Instruction and provide a structured learning opportunity where students process their practice experiences and integrate the common base of social work values, skills, and knowledge of generalist social work in a systems theory perspective. The seminars also assist students to expand their knowledge of the human services field beyond the confines of their own placement. Topics and policies of social work and social welfare are discussed, based in large part, on the experiences of students in the field through written logs, client summaries, and classroom discussions of experiences including feelings about their social work practice. Must be taken concurrently with SWK481.
