What if you could have a cup of coffee or tea with fellow social work educators and discuss developing or enhancing a partnership with your state, county and tribal child welfare organizations to better prepare students for child welfare practice? Well, now you can!
On Tuesday, April 22, 2014, from 3–4:30 PM ET, join:
Margaret Counts-Spriggs (Clark Atlanta University), Heather Craig-Oldsen (Briar Cliff University), Debra Linsenmeyer (University of Maryland), Joanne Riebschleger (Michigan State University), Lyn Slater (Fordham University) and Virginia Drywater-Whitekiller (Northeastern State University) for Traineeship Legacies & Lessons Learned, the second session in our 4-part national webinar mini-series, Making a Difference: NCWWI Impact & Lessons Learned (2008-2013).
This webinar session will offer a range of insights from experienced social work educators involved in the 2009-2014 NCWWI Traineeships, who will answer questions and provide examples of lessons learned – i.e., what they learned to do and not to do, and when to do it and how – to support best practice approaches for BSW and MSW education of students for child welfare careers. Our panelists will discuss:
- Engaging in University-Agency teamwork;
- Collaborating with tribal child welfare organizations;
- Examining undergraduate and graduate social work education and child welfare workforce needs;
- Delivering innovative classroom curricula;
- Assembling cutting edge field placement models;
- Effective recruiting methods for finding the “right” students;
- Discovering and building in critical student supports;
- Making good use of technology;
- Tailoring activities to better support Native American students and other diverse students in specific institutional contexts, as well as in urban and rural communities and regions;
- Taking advantage of NCWWI resources; and,
- Thinking about the future of social work education and child welfare workforce preparation.
This session is free and open to all, so please share the information with your colleagues & networks.
Certificates of attendance will be issued to all attendees via email following conclusion of the session.
