Generalist Seminar I

Catalog description

Concurrent with their first practicum experience, students will participate in a weekly reflective supervision seminar that focuses on learning through self-reflection, discussion, and ongoing group process. The goal of this course is to help students integrate knowledge with practice and reflection and to deepen their capacity to reflect on their social work practice. Students will be asked to think critically about what they do, why they do it, how their practice both reflects and affects who they are and what they believe about people’s struggles and change process. Students will also be asked to examine the structure, mission, and goals of the organizations with whom they are engaged, and to understand how these interact with their own professional identity, experiences, and belief system.
