During New Student Orientation, varied social work topics, or themes, will be presented as foundation-level mini-courses inviting students to share, explore, engage, and discover the vast world of social work. This course will emphasize experiential, active, and engaged learning components and operationalize the three SEED goals: 1) Strengthen connection and community at the School of Social Work, 2) Explore PODS (privilege, oppression, diversity, & social justice), and 3) Learn foundation-level social work skills. Each theme will begin by attending a shared welcome experience.
Only incoming MSW students enroll in this mini course. Mini-course Description: This mini course will provide on an overview of Leadership and Management, using the 7C approach (Characteristics, Crucibles, Collaborations, Competencies, Conditions [Agency Culture and Structure], Context [The world out there] and Change [How fast are things moving?] We will consider the "double helix” tension between management and leadership. The "suddenly I am a manager" perspective will be shared and preparations suggested. Emphasis will be placed on everyday leadership and management, with the idea that these practices can be used in daily life as well as in organizational positions. Participants will be encouraged to develop a leadership/management mindset, reviewing some of their biggest success and failures and extracting lessons learned. We will begin a leadership/management journal which will allow students to record observations about leadership/managements episodes.
