SW 958 - The Art and Science of Social Work Education

3 Credit(s)

The purpose of this seminar is to prepare students to function as effective social work educators by providing knowledge and skills for teaching social work courses. Teaching is conceptualized as a professional practice; therefore the focus of the seminar is on the integration of theory, research, and educational strategies and techniques and skills for students’ practice as educators. Although doctoral-level trained social workers occupy a range of educational roles such as supervisors, administrators, trainers, and public educators, this course has been specifically designed to address teaching in the academic setting.
