This course builds on Introduction to Generalist Social Work Practice and Generalist Social Work Practice with Groups by applying ecological and systems theory and the problem-solving framework to generalist social work practice with macro systems. Students will examine social work theory and methods for practice with communities and organizations. Skills for analyzing organizations, identifying needs for change, and planning and implementing interventions for changing organizational policies and procedures will be emphasized. The definitions of community will be examined, and skills for assessing communities' needs as well as planning and implementing interventions to improve community well-being will be highlighted. Attention is focused on the ways issues of human diversity affect organizations and communities, and on enhancing the ways organizations can promote social and economic justice for groups experiencing oppression and discrimination.

This is the final course in a series designed to prepare students for social work practice. This course builds on previous courses by using ecological and system theories and the problem solving framework for generalist social work practice with individuals and families. Students will explore ethical dilemmas and develop critical thinking skills through application to field work experiences. A major focus will be refinement of skills for the planned process of change, including engagement, assessment, goal setting, treatment planning and intervention, evaluation, and termination. Managing the helping relationship and goal-setting in the cross-cultural context and with involuntary clients will be emphasized. Assessment skills will be enhanced through the use of previously acquired knowledge of theories of human behavior and development, issues of diversity, and mental health perspectives. Intervention methods taught may include solution focused, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral, crisis intervention and family treatment strategies. Students will learn to select appropriate interventions based on research evidence for effective and ethical practice. Planned and unplanned terminations will be considered.

This course covers the basic concepts and methodologies used in empirical investigations of social work problems, in particular, the philosophic bases of scientific inquiry, techniques and principles of measurement, research designs, data collection, and descriptive data analysis. Experimental, single system, survey, longitudinal, and cross sectional designs are discussed in relation to knowledge generation, practice and program evaluation, and knowledge utilization in social work. Students will use knowledge gained to develop a proposal for a research project to be carried out in Research II. In addition, the influence that personal values have on the conceptualization of research questions will be examined as well as the need to appreciate human diversity when conducting research. The profession's Code of Ethics will be explored to ensure students understand and follow ethical guidelines when conducting research (e.g., protection of human subjects, informed consent, confidentiality), and mechanisms for compliance (e.g. Institutional Review Boards) will be examined.

Field Learning I is the first semester of the year-long internship designed to give senior BSW students opportunities to apply social work knowledge, values and skills to practice situations. In this placement, the fundamental principles of generalist social work practice will be carried out through engagement, assessment, intervention, or prevention activities with individuals, small groups, families, communities, and organizations. Students will develop their ability to identify the ways that contexts impact the client's circumstances with special attention to the ramifications of diversity matters as well as social and economic justice concerns. Critical thinking skills will be called upon to analyze the ethical aspects of client situations and students will be required to use available research to inform practice.
