Course Description: Generalist Practice I is the second course among three required courses in the social work practice sequence. This course is grounded in the liberal arts and the person and environment construct. The course introduces a conceptual framework for generalist practice and uses a range of prevention and intervention methods with systems of smaller sizes (individuals and families) within a transcultural perspective. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of identifying social work as a profession, applying ethical principles and critical thinking in practice, incorporating diversity in their practice and advocating for human rights and social and economic justice. Students will recognize, support, and build on the strengths and resiliency of all human beings. They will also engage in research-informed practice and are proactive in responding to the impact of context on professional practice. The field experience takes place concurrently with the course and fieldwork experience will be integrated into the class learning process.
