Description:

This is the third in a sequence of three courses designed to introduce the student to those skills and techniques of the planned change process required for effective functioning as a generalist social worker with client systems of all sizes. Consistent with the profession's commitment to social justice, this course pays specific attention to macro practice and the skill set required to work effectively with communities and organizations to reduce the environmental obstacles that may impede on the achievement of goals. Effective strategies for cause advocacy are also examined. This course teaches, refines and integrates practice skills needed to assess and intervene in situations involving a range of systems and a diversity of human groups. The final phases of the planned changed process (i.e., implementation, evaluation, termination and followup) are studied in theoretical and practical application. A fourth credit is satisfied through a onehour weekly online "skills lab" which has beendesigned to complement and support an in-class experiential skills component. This course is only open to students majoring in social work. Prerequisite: SOW 3230. Corequisite: SOW 3610. 4 credits. F
