Reflection
This course has been structured to build competencies in group and family work, particularly with respect to leadership skills and techniques such as clarifying and interpreting, managing time, pacing, and supporting members. How comfortable do you feel at this point with your skills? Where do you still need to grow?
In this final Discussion, you return to your group leadership skills and self-assess them using a research instrument. You then use this assessment and your coursework to reflect on your future advanced social work practice with groups and families.
To Prepare
- Reflect on your growth and insights related to advanced social work practice with groups and families.
- Review your Week 4 Assignment in which you considered your leadership skills at that time.
- Then, review the Barnes et al. article in the Learning Resources. Using the GLSA tool within the article, informally assess your group leadership skills now.
- Based on your self-assessment results, as well as your learning throughout the course, consider your strengths and improvement areas related to advanced social work practice with groups and families.
Post
Post a reflection on two to three key points of learning throughout the course. Also describe your preferences in terms of working with groups or with families. Which are you more drawn to? Then, based on the self-assessment and your growth throughout the course, describe one strength and one improvement area for each type of social work (group and family).
