Enhancing Social Work Instruction: Using Online Simulations and Role Plays
May 16, 2019 - 9:00am to 11:00am
CancelledSpeakerMary Ruffolo, PhD, LMSW
Agenda9-9:30am | Overview: Supervision and the Use of Simulations and Role Play
9:30-10am | How Faculty can Use Simulations with Students in Class
10-10:30am | Maximizing Instruction Benefits in Using Simulations
10:30-11am | Practicum: Try it Out
DescriptionJoin the Field Office and the Associate Dean for Educational Programs to learn more about how instructors for the U-M SSW can utilize online simulations for both their own practice as well as how to use with students. The U-M SSW has given students and instructors access to simulations in the last year, and these simulations are valuable tools for practicing a multitude of intervention techniques. Simulations help students to learn the technique and then practice it in a virtual setting - all before having to use them with real-world clients. This helps students learn many challenges of therapy and make mistakes with a virtual client before working with clients in the field. We will show instructors what these simulations look like, how students should use them, how they can incorporate them in class, and then give time to practice the simulations.
Learning ObjectivesDescribe different methods of teaching when using simulations in class.
Apply knowledge of simulations and how they work during class with students.

Alumni Webinar Series: Building a Culture of Philanthropy
May 16, 2019 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Non-profit organizations have the unique opportunity to fund programmatic, capital, and endowment projects through well-conceived philanthropy, and most require some level of donated funds to successfully meet their mission. Truly successful fundraising is achieved when a strong culture of philanthropy is in place. In these non-profits, everyone, including volunteer leadership, assumes responsibility for philanthropy and understands the important role they play in making it happen. Even when the organization has full-time, dedicated fundraising staff, no one is exempt. There are key elements that need to be securely in place for sustainable fundraising success within an organization. This presentation will define these elements, describe their importance, and demonstrate how participants can measure each element within their own organization.
Note: This webinar is free for U-M SSW alumni.Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.
