The School of Education seeks an online instructor to teach SWK 709 (M700):Practice With Children, Adolescents and Families (3 credits).

Description:

This class is an in-depth analysis of issues commonly faced in working with children, adolescents, and their families. The course investigates the principles at work in the dynamics in these families and in the organizations in which they are situated. Using a systems theory approach and current research findings, the course focuses on treatment approaches that are most efficacious in the remediation of specific problems for children, adolescents, and families.

SWK 709 is an advanced practice course building on the knowledge base and skills acquired by students in SWK 626 and SWK 730. The course is designed to sharpen students’ capacity to understand and formulate strategies to systematically intervene in common problems faced by children, adolescents, and their families. Students will have the opportunity to apply specific techniques to select problems from a strengths-based perspective. This course places a special emphasis on understanding the thinking, behavior, and treatment of adolescents in their family and school contexts.
