How have you implemented this competency into practice in your field practicum experience?
Welcome to your Weekly Competency Discussion! As you know, CSWE requires that BSW & MSW students are trained in 9 competency areas (2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation StandardsDownload 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards). This ensures that you are competent to practice as a Social Worker when you complete your educational program. These weekly discussions will help you to fuse the theory of these competencies with the field experience you are gaining in your practicum. In other words, you will gain a deeper understanding of how these apply in “real life.”
Please take the time to reflect on these competencies and their applications.
This week the Social Work Competency is:
Competency 3: Advance Human Rights and Social, Economic, and Environmental Justice
After reviewing the competency, please address the following in the discussion board:
1. Provide a short summary of the meaning of the competency. You are required to cite at least one source outside of the 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards posted above. Be sure to properly use APA citation for your source(s).
