As I worked on initatives to promote professional social work practice in public human service agencies, building partnerships between social work education programs and communitybased agencies was essential. It was also necessary to articulate the competencies BSW graduates should have to practice in child welfare agencies. Thus, through my work, Ron Federico became more than a picture on the wall— he became a major force as I increasingly became knowledgeable about the essential contributions that he made to social work education. Thus, I was extremely honored to be selected to present the 2014 Ron Federico Lecture. This lecture is grounded in the work that I have done, much in collaboration with many others, and the things I have learned over the past several decades. Since 1987 I have journeyed from the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), to CSWE, and then to the Institute for the Advancement of Social Work Research (IASWR), and then back to NASW in 2009 to direct its nascent Social Work Policy Institute. What I attempt to provide here is a somewhat historical view, because it helps to know where we have been to help us in moving forward. This retrospective provides a policy view of where our assumptions that social work degrees are not only relevant, but also perhaps essential for good child welfare practice have been grounded. It also suggests that we are not yet able to make an irrefutable assertion that a social work degree is the only path to excellence in child welfare practice, improved child and family outcomes, and improved staff retention. This paper also looks at strategies we might use to ensure that the social work profession, including the expertise and education of both BSW and MSW graduates, continues to be relevant for today’s and tomorrow’s child welfare service delivery. It should be acknowledged that I first came to NASW on a parttime, temporary basis, to work on fulfilling the recommendations that had been developed as part of then NASW President Dorothy V. Harris’s Presidential","PeriodicalId":152526,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Baccalaureate Social Work","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126389281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue is particularly important for students entering the profession. However, there has been little discussion in the literature about the developmental process of students and beginning practitioners and the effect of such tools on their attainment of practice competencies. This article discusses how the use of a culturagram influenced baccalaureate social work students’ ability to understand, assess, and plan an intervention with an immigrant family in a case scenario. We found that the culturagram augmented students’ learning and demonstrated the potential to move students and practitioners beyond cultural awareness to an ability to engage with difference.","PeriodicalId":152526,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Baccalaureate Social Work","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134231851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the traditional approach to teaching biology to social work students often fails to address and promote self- efficacy. This article demonstrates the relevance of biological knowledge to social work practice and connects biology education to the curriculum standards of the Council on Social Work Education’s Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards. It presents an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to teaching biology content to social work students using a theme- based, character- driven case study that (a) relates the challenges of individuals to the dynamics of their families, (b) presents biological knowledge as a necessary tool to solve complex, real- world problems, and (c) requires students to explore the personal and social dimensions of problems. Furthermore, we suggest that implementing the case study using a red thread model, which links information and ideas from multiple classes in biology and social work, can increase students’ interest in and retention of biology material.","PeriodicalId":152526,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Baccalaureate Social Work","volume":"644 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133322467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students hesitate to work with older adults due to personal fears about aging, lack of experiences with this population, or stereotypical misconceptions about older adults and nursing homes. It is apparent that many students have difficulty empathizing with older adults because they have never experienced what it is like to be an older adult with dementia. A solution to this problem is incorporating an immersive experiential learning simulation called the Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT) into BSW course content. The findings indicate that the VDT was an effective evidence-based learning tool for increasing student knowledge about aging and improving their empathy and sensitivity toward older adults with dementia.","PeriodicalId":152526,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Baccalaureate Social Work","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127413090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social work students are going into practice in a multicultural milieu, and there is not enough room in the core curriculum for BSW educators to add unlimited elective courses to cover every diverse population group. As one case example, Baby Boomers of all races and backgrounds are aging, contributing to an unprecedented growth in the aging population. Included in this group are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) elders. Diversity issues, including LGBT elder issues, cross all practice areas; therefore, infusion of content embedded in courses can at least introduce students to the needs of these diverse populations and assist them in envisioning possible solutions to address these needs. This article presents a rationale for the infusion of diversity content into the BSW curriculum focusing on the example of LGBT elders. Suggestions for pedagogical infusion strategies are included.","PeriodicalId":152526,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Baccalaureate Social Work","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127496832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This conceptual analysis proposes an early curriculum-planning model that can be used to increase international content within social work education programs. Educators can prepare, scan, and plan for increasing international curriculum content. They can consider student learning opportunities within classrooms and field sites of their institutions, as well as those of international host institutions, as shown in examples drawn from the social work education literature. The model provides a place for social work educators to begin the journey of international curriculum planning and enhancement.","PeriodicalId":152526,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Baccalaureate Social Work","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126097655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For knowledge related to human rights, the first place to turn is the United Nations Human Rights Web page (2011) and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948). The Universal Declaration is an aspirational document. It lays out the goals to which human rights work ought to aspire. Aspirational work is nurtured by inspiration, and so let’s begin with an inspiration— from Eleanor Roosevelt. She was the U.S. representative to the Drafting Committee for the declaration.
