Introduction
From Hbse I
Lesson learning objectives
By the end of this week you should be able to do the following. You may not do it perfectly, but you should be on the path, as they say.
- Articulate the relationship between social work approaches, frameworks, theories and knowledge and values and ethics, and their importance in assessing clients and communicating about clients with other professionals.
- Differentiate the frameworks from personal opinion, common knowledge, bias.
- Discuss the centrality of values and ethics to all social work activities, including the acquisition and application of social work knowledge (fit with number 6)
- Discuss the importance of, and difficulty in, adopting new schema of clients, our selves, and society and others – if we are to become effective social workers who can really make a difference in our client’s lives.
- Explain where HBSE fits in terms of the PIP (as if telling your mother – assuming she is not a social worker.)
- Perform rudimentary assessment of a client using a case study.
- Identify, differentiate and discuss in general terms the ecosystems, strength-based and social constructionist approaches to clients.
- Discuss the courses’ learning objectives, assignments, and evaluations, and the relationship between those three.
Schemas – life long learning, changing all the time
