You have systematically examined social work assessment tools and interventions
Final Project: Practice Toolbox
Throughout the course, you have systematically examined social work assessment tools and interventions for use with various age groups across the life span. You have analyzed the benefits and drawbacks of these tools and techniques, and you have envisioned yourself implementing them in practice. You have also considered ethical situations that arise when connecting with clients. All of these activities assist you in becoming a strong, competent, ethically oriented, and committed practitioner who can work with a range of populations.
In this Final Project, you solidify that commitment by gathering all of your Practice Toolbox submissions into one document and revising them as needed. You then write a summary outlining your ideal population on which to focus your practice and the challenges that might accompany your work.
Though the Practice Toolbox is submitted here, it is meant to be a living document to which you can add and refer throughout your remaining studies. It can also become a reference once you are a practicing social worker.
To Prepare
- Locate your previous Practice Toolbox submissions (Weeks 3–9 Assignments).
- Revise them based on Instructor feedback and/or additional research you have done.
- Copy and paste these revised submissions into the appropriate place in the Final Project Template.
- To complete the other portions of the template, draw from this week’s Discussion post to further detail an intervention for elderly/aging adults. Also consider if your thoughts have changed since Week 1 regarding the population you prefer to work with, based on your experiences with the various groups in this course.
By Day 7
Complete the Final Project Template:
Assessment Tools and Interventions
- Copy and paste your revised Practice Toolbox submissions into the template in the designated spot.
- Include 1 page that elaborates on the intervention you chose for this week’s Discussion. You should answer the same questions for the elderly/aging adult intervention that you did with other populations (why you selected the intervention, why it would be helpful for the population, what challenges or limitations there might be).
Summary
- Write a 1-page summary describing your ideal population to work with, based on your research and work throughout the term. Is this the same population you identified in Week 1, or has your perspective changed?
- Identify and describe at least two ethical, moral, or value challenges you might see in working with this population.
