SW 557 Advanced Social Work Practice with Organizations

Students will build knowledge around theories of organizational change in the context of social work practice. They will develop assessment skills of organizational readiness for change, both internally and externally, while considering a variety of barriers and facilitators. Based on this assessment, students will, in collaboration with their clients and other stakeholders, design and implement a change within their practicum placement, in the service of advancing more effective, more efficient social work interventions and outcomes to one or more marginalized persons.
