Social workers understand that evidence that informs practice derives from multi-disciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing. They also understand the processes for translating research findings into effective practice. This week, you will create a hypothetical blog for MSW professionals. The focus of your blog is explaining the strengths-based perspective and how it has been incorporated into research-informed practice. Social workers are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation and recognize the importance of evaluating processes and outcomes to advance practice, policy, and service delivery effectiveness. Highlight how this approach is particularly beneficial when working with marginalized and/or diverse populations. Be sure to include at least two hypothetical case studies that demonstrate how the perspective can be applied in practice with groups and communities.
Length of blog: 5 pages, not including title and reference pages. Support your blog with at least three scholarly sources.
Your blog must be effectively designed and meet the following criteria:
- Contains text that is readable (e.g., appropriate size of font, type of font, contrasts with the background, contains sufficient white space),
- Include information within the blog that supports the assignment.
- Ensure any included links are active and work.
- Contains at least one graphic.
- Contains the same template throughout with a consistent design.
Your blog should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.
