SOCW 8572 - Adult Learning and Instructional Design

(5 credits)

Graduates of a doctoral program are looked to as leaders and experts in their respective fields. As such, they have an added responsibility beyond their contribution to critical research and practice contexts; they must also be prepared to share their knowledge in a deliberate and audience-appropriate way, one that inspires others to not just listen, but to act. Though teaching and learning can take place in many situations—for example, agency or clinical supervision, research project leadership, and informal mentoring—graduates of social work doctoral programs may find themselves in the position to teach in a college or university setting, an opportunity to positively impact countless emerging scholars and practitioners. In this course, students consider critical applications of teaching and learning in higher education through a course-long scenario, in which they assume the role of faculty who have been charged with reenvisioning the design and delivery of an Introduction to Social Work course.
