CSWRK 4702Practicum Seminar I

Catalog

This practicum seminar provides students the opportunity to integrate their professional development and direct practice skills within the context of their practicum experiences. Students will engage in extensive self-reflection and assessment in relationship to their professional skills, knowledge, and identity. They will also explore the changing role of the socio-political climate and its impact on the provision of social services, policy development, and consumer/agency resources and practice. Constructs central to the practicum such as ethical decision-making, evidence-based practice, social justice and self-care will also be explored. The integration and application of classroom and practicum will build on the social work framework across the BSW curriculum and provide a springboard for entrance into the profession.
