ISWK 304 - Indigenous Social Work

ISWK 304: COMMUNITY LEARNING
6 CREDITS

The purpose of this course is to provide opportunities for development, integration, and reinforcement of competence through performance in actual situations in a social work practice setting. The aim is to foster the acquisition of knowledge, values and skills relevant to emerging social work practice trends and First Nation peoples' issues. The Practicum is intended to offer practical and supervised opportunities to develop students' existing social work knowledge and skills to affirm Indigenous practices. The community learning placement promotes the integration of the theory and skills into the social work practice students are learning in foundational courses with their professional practice and social work identity.
