Assignment Guidelines
Your presentation should be 10 slides, not including the title and reference slides, and should include the following elements:
Title Slide: Provide the assignment title, your name, course and section number, instructor name, and date.
Body: Answer all the questions, reflecting appropriate personal and professional insights.
The assignment must be written in Standard English and demonstrate superior organization, including a highly developed viewpoint and purpose. Your responses should reflect professional writing standards, using proper tone and language. The writing and writing style should be correct, accurate, and reflect knowledge of human services.
Presentations are visual; therefore, use clear, concise bullet points and avoid crowded slides.

Be sure to use the notes section below each slide to add additional information to support the content on your slides. The information in the notes area should be in complete sentences and paragraphs, reflecting appropriate personal and professional insights, as if you were presenting to an audience. The communication of your thoughts must be highly ordered, logical, and unified, displaying exceptional content, organization, style, and mechanics (including the use of correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure).
Reference Slide: Sources listed in current APA format.
Include a minimum of four scholarly, academic sources, with one of these references being the textbook.
Use Arial or Times New Roman 24-point font.

Understanding and applying evaluation methods are essential components of effect

Understanding and applying evaluation methods are essential components of effect

Understanding and applying evaluation methods are essential components of effective social work practice. They help social workers assess client progress, promote evidence-based practice, improve service quality, allocate resources wisely, and advocate for social change. By demonstrating skills in evaluation, social workers can enhance their ability to make a positive impact on the lives of their clients, demonstrate their commitment to the profession, and contribute to the overall betterment of society.
Types of Evaluation:
In this assignment, you will analyze and evaluate the outcomes of Emily’s case discussed in Topic 6 by completing the “Evaluation Worksheet.” Select one of the three possible types of evaluations—outcome evaluation, process evaluation, or satisfaction evaluation—to assess the effectiveness and impact of the intervention in Emily’s situation.
You will then explain the purpose of the type of evaluation you chose. 
You will then create four questions that you would ask/include in your evaluation. 
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

SOLUTION-FOCUSED BRIEF THERAPY (SFBT) – Please use this intervention
Note: As an advanced practice social worker, it is assumed that issues in the environment have been addressed. Now your interventions should be looking at theoretical modalities that are appropriate for the population.
When selecting and implementing interventions with children, it is essential to be aware of their developmental stage. Their language and cognitive capability may be limited, so alternatives to traditional talk therapy are sometimes needed. Play therapy, which can integrate art, dolls, sensory props, and other toys, is regularly used with young children to help them tell their stories and gain control of what happened to them. Social workers may also use mindfulness-based techniques to help children regulate in times of stress.
In this Assignment, you look more closely at interventions that could be effective in social work practice with children.
Access the Clinical Social Work Interventions link in the Learning Resources.
On that site, explore three different interventions for use with children. Select one that you can see yourself using in practice with child clients.
Consider why you have chosen this intervention and its strengths and limitationss

Social Work invites you to show up in your full humanity. It’s an embodied pract

Social Work invites you to show up in your full humanity. It’s an embodied pract

Social Work invites you to show up in your full humanity. It’s an embodied practice which
requires nurturing of your mind, body and Soul. This assignment is an opportunity to attune
to self. A coming home of sorts.
It has three parts.
(1)Over the next 12 weeks you will implement 2-3 daily habits/behaviours that are
wonderfully nurturing and soul reviving . Consider movement practices, nutrition, spiritual,
trsnition from to/from work or between client practices, or sleep practices. Keep it simple i.e.
walk 1000 more steps than you do now,no screens an hour before bed, drink 250 ml more
water than now, add 3 fistfuls of vegies to your meals, 30 minutes of intentional daily
movement, play, connect with a friend 2x/week, or pray each morning etc. My suggestion for
you is to think about an area of your life that could use a little TLC and then think about 2-3
daily practices that would feel nourishing. If they feel awesome after 2-3 weeks keep doing
them and then move on to another area that needs love.
Life can sometimes feel like a lot – school, work, family, community responsibilities all in a
system that wasn’t built for racialized bodies . When that happens there is a deep sense of
overwhelm and our sense of ease seems out of reach.
(2)Glimmers, coined by Deb Dana, are tiny fleeting micro moments of joy. Catching these
momements connects us with feelings of safety and connection(nervous system regulation).
Glimmers are all around us and often spark a light that sets you at ease ….grandmothers
perfume, rainbow, toes in the sand, baby giggles, warmth of sun on your skin or noticing the
sunrise are all examples
5
Daily Practice: Notice the glimmers as they appear, then notice what happens inside your
body, hang out with this feeling and then capture the Glimmer on a small piece of paper, fold
it and place in a jar. Do this multiple times a day. Choose one time each week to spend
opening the jar reviewing the weeks glimmers and notice what happens if anything . For
added fun, personalize your jar with decorations and rember to notice glimmers with all five
senses – what might you see, hear, taste, touch, smell.
A maximum five page reflection on this experience including a plan for continued wellness
practice will be handed in at the end of 12 weeks.
My best hope here and always is that you may create a little extra room in your nervous system
for flow, ease, possibility, vitality…a step or two towards healing.
We will have three small group circle check in opportunities to encourage one another in
our soul care practices.
Considerations for Maximum Points:
Part 1: 10pts
Identification of 2-3 daily practices
Daily Practice Tracking
Intentional Pivots with trial and error in establishing practices
Part 2: 5 pts
Captured minimum of 100 glimmers
Part 3: 15 pts
Participate in one small group encouragement circle
Five pages
What does soul caring mean to you?
What was soul caring like for you? What did you notice inside?(Body)
Connecting the experience to Africentric ways of knowing, being and doing
Indication of how your practices have changed or stregthed and plan for continued
intentional practices
I will attach my soul care habits as well as a list of my glimmers. 
Keep in mind if you use resourses please make them canadian base. Also I’m african Nova Scotian living in Canada. if you can use an afrocentric 
per·spec·tive   that would be great

Victoria Elizabeth Hilt
Good evening, colleagues,
When I initially recorded my video, there were many aspects
of my identity I considered. I discussed my experiences with where my family is
from and our ethnic heritage, being Irish American. I also discussed my
identity as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, being transgender, and using
they/he pronouns. I briefly discussed some of the discrimination I have faced
as a result of this aspect of my identity, such as being an educator in Florida
and being forced to use my dead name and birth pronouns. I also discussed my
strong faith conviction.
An aspect of my identity I would include now is my
disability, as well as being neurodivergent. As I continue to work in
exceptional student education, the students report that seeing an adult who is
also neurodivergent benefits them, providing them with a better educational
experience. I previously hated using the word “disabled” to describe
my physical ailments; however, I have begun to draw power from acknowledging
that aspect of my identity.
This course is the most spectacular course I have taken thus
far. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are something I am passionate about,
especially as it is being banned in Florida. My family has always called me
their “political protester” and “social justice warrior,”
which I wear as a badge of honor. I continue to embrace it as I consider a
career in mezzo social work practice, striving for policy change rather than a
career in therapeutic counseling. I acknowledge the benefits but also
acknowledge where my talents and passion lie.
This course taught me that education never ends, especially
regarding cultural humility. I must continue learning about other cultures to
support those in my community best. The Privilege for Sale activity is one in
particular that stood out to me. Though it focused on privileges heterosexual
adults have, this activity could be reworked to discuss topics of race, gender,
ability, and much more.
I continue to search for ways to engage in self-care. I
enjoy painting and baking primarily and spending time with loved ones. I also
can now state when I need to take a time-out, and, as such, I am taking a leave
of absence next quarter to regroup and focus on improving my mental health so I
can continue to help others. I am disappointed to be taking a leave of absence,
but I understand it is what my mind and body need now.

Dear Class,
As we approach the end of the quarter, I want to express my
sincere appreciation for every one of you. It has been an absolute pleasure
learning from all of you, and I am grateful for the unique perspectives and
insights that each of you brought to our discussions.
Reflecting on my journey as a cultural being throughout this
course has been truly transformative. Under the guidance of Professor Alisha
Powell, I’ve had the opportunity to delve deep into my multicultural
background. Originally from Zimbabwe and South Africa before moving to the
United States, my cultural identity has been profoundly shaped by these
experiences. Initially, adjusting to a new country posed challenges in
navigating my cultural identity. However, through our engaging discussions and
course materials, I’ve gained a newfound appreciation for how my diverse
background enriches my perspective on diversity and social justice. For
example, Marsiglia, Kulis, and Lechuga-Peña’s book “Diversity, Oppression,
and Change: Culturally Grounded Social Work” underscored the importance of
valuing diverse cultural backgrounds in social work practice, resonating deeply
with my own experiences. Learning to embrace my multicultural identity as a
strength has empowered me to advocate for inclusivity and equity.
Reflecting on topics related to diversity, human rights, and
social justice has evoked a range of emotions for me, including nostalgia,
curiosity, and determination. Having firsthand experience with systemic
inequalities, I understand the emotional toll of confronting these issues.
However, as discussed by Tatum in “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting
Together in the Cafeteria?” I’ve come to recognize the importance of
acknowledging and processing these emotions. Connecting with peers who share
similar experiences and engaging in self-care practices that honor my cultural
heritage have been crucial in maintaining my well-being throughout the course.
Looking ahead, I am excited about how this course will
inform my journey as a future social work practitioner. With a deeper
understanding of diversity, human rights, and social justice, particularly
within the context of my multicultural background, I am committed to advocating
for marginalized communities and promoting social change. Leveraging the
knowledge and skills gained from this course, I am eager to contribute to
creating a more equitable and inclusive society. I extend my heartfelt
gratitude to Professor Powell for her guidance and support throughout this
incredible journey.
