Adjunct Faculty Member

2 months ago

Newport News VA United States Christopher Newport University Full time
Working Title:

Adjunct Faculty Member - College of Social Sciences / Social Work

Appointment Type:

Adjunct

Purpose of Position:

The Social Work Program in CNU's College of Social Sciences is accepting applications from prospective adjunct instructors to teach SOWK 301 (Social Work Practice I) and/or SOWK 301 Lab (Social Work Practice Lab and Junior Field Instruction) in Christopher Newport University's undergraduate Social Work program.

Courses will be taught in the Fall 2024; each course meets once per week for 2 hours and works well when teaching in tandem, though not required.

Specific topics covered and assignments can be tailored to the expertise of the professor; however, the syllabus and course objectives should fit with the general course rationale as described and consistent with standards of the Council on Social Work Education. The following provides a description of the courses and rationale for how each course fits with the major.

SOWK 301 (Social Work Practice I). This course is designed to develop beginning social work skills, knowledge, and values. Provides an introduction to the generalist approach, and planned change process with emphasis in working with individuals. Teaches skills in: client assessments, case management, service plan development and record keeping, evidence-based intervention strategies, evaluation of outcomes, and integration of these concepts with knowledge of diverse, racial, ethnic, and cultural patterns and through understanding of self. Students learn related theories/models such as the Stages of Change, Systems Theory, and understanding Motivation and Change. Examples of assignments include exams; genogram and life story paper; and group application of the planned change process.

Course Rationale:
Social Work Practice I provides core concepts in working with individuals, families, groups, and communities. Emphasis is on the use of micro-level skills and introduction to the planned change process. Students will learn about the role of micro social work in the profession overall, the functions and characteristics of generalist practice, and specific tools used in case management. Ethical considerations, cultural competence, and theory related to macro social work will be emphasized throughout the semester.

SOWK 301 Lab (Social Work Practice Lab and Junior Field Instruction) is an 80 to 120 clock-hour laboratory which experientially reinforces content in SOWK 301. It includes off-campus observation of Social Work agencies, limited experience in a community social service setting, development of foundational practice skills, learning through role-play exercises, and the use of video recording equipment. Teaches skills in engagement, use of self in the helping role, active listening, empathy, understanding body language, and interviewing techniques. Attention and application of ADEI is emphasized. Examples of assignments include: reflection papers, video recordings of skills, process recordings, and in-class participation.

Course Rationale:
Social Work Practice Lab and Junior Field Instruction provides students with hands on opportunities to learn and practice direct skills in working with individuals. Emphasis is developing interpersonal and communication skills necessary for successful interactions among different groups of individuals. This course serves as a gatekeeping tool for continuation in the social work major.
