SCWK-62000 School Social Work Field Seminar I

This is the first course in a two-semester sequence that provides an opportunity for students to integrate advanced social work course content and field internship experiences in a school setting.

The School Social Work Field Seminar provides an opportunity for students to integrate school social work course content with the field internship experiences as they develop school social work skills.  Students will have an opportunity to integrate an analytic understanding of the role of school social workers, an appreciation of the school social workers contributions to K-12 education, societal values underlying their role and an understanding of systemic intervention in the school using a variety of intervention modalities.

This course focuses specifically on the roles of social workers in the school setting including the provision of direct service, consultation, advocacy, program development, and evaluation as well as liaison functions with families and community systems.
