SW 436 - Seminar

This course supports students in integrating their field practicum experience with the knowledge, values, and skills gained throughout the BSW curriculum. Emphasizing ethical practice, professional development, and reflective learning, students will explore how the NASW Code of Ethics guides direct client work, social work interventions, and policy engagement within field agencies. Key topics include the role of supervision, cultural humility, self-care, and reflective practice in professional growth and readiness for generalist social work practice. Students will critically analyze their field experiences through journals, case presentations, and class discussions, demonstrating their ability to apply social work competencies, cognitive and affective processes, and ethical decision-making in real-world settings.
