Finally, students address competencies for the beginning level practitioner necessary for successful intervention with various micro-client systems. Relationship to Other Sequences and Other Courses SOWK 486w is a practice class focused on teaching skills for effecting changes in individual clients. It is considered a “w” class because it is writing-focused. During a student’s time in the social work program, there are three theories of practice courses. Each one focuses on a different level of interaction. First, this course starts with individuals, then SOWK 487 Theories of Practice II concentrates on working with groups. Finally, SOWK 488 looks at working with communities and a macro perspective. REVIEWING SYLLABUS Land Acknowledgement Heritage University occupies its home on the traditional lands of the Yakama People. These ancestral homelands are the Yakama, Palouse, Pisquouse, Wenatshapam, Klikatat, Klinquit, Kow- was-say-ee, Li-aywas, Skin-pah, Wish-ham, Shyiks, Ochechotes, Kah-milt-pa, and Se-ap-cat, who today are represented by the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation [TREATY OF 1855] and, whose relationship with this land continues to this day. Heritage University, grounded in the vision of the two Yakama women founders, respects Indigenous peoples as traditional guardians of the lands and the enduring relationship Long and in-depth, but a useful document!

This first week of classes is your first week starting in the social work program. Theories of Practice I is part of a three-part series of classes. In the first semester, you will examine how we work with individuals. The second semester is about working with families and groups. Finally, the third semester takes a broader approach and looks at macro practice. During the first class session, we focus on getting to know our fellow learners, the course instructor, and the general feel of the course. We will also discuss academic writing as this course is a “W” class.
The plan is as follows:
- Getting to know each other
- Cooperative agreements and norms
- The look and feel of this learning environment
- Academic writing
