This course meets the follow education policy, practice behaviors and accreditation policies of the Council on Social Work Accreditation: Educational Policy 2.1.2 Apply social work ethical principles to guide professional practice. Social workers have an obligation to conduct themselves ethically and to engage in ethical decision-making. Social workers are knowledgeable about the value base of the profession, its ethical standards, and relevant law. Social workers: (a) Recognize and manage personal values in a way that allows professional values to guide practice.
Page 3 of 18 (b) Make ethical decisions by applying standards of the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics2 and, as applicable, of the International Federation of Social Workers/International Association of Schools of Social Work Ethics in Social Work, Statement of Principles. (c) Tolerate ambiguity in resolving ethical conflicts; and (d) Apply strategies of ethical reasoning to arrive at principled decisions. Educational Policy 2.1.4 Engage diversity and difference in practice. Social workers understand how diversity characterizes and shapes the human experience and is critical to the formation of identity. The dimensions of diversity are understood as the intersectionality of multiple factors including age, class, color, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, immigration status, political ideology, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. Social workers appreciate that, as a consequence of difference, a person s life experiences may include oppression, poverty, marginalization, and alienation as well as privilege, power, and acclaim. Social workers: (a) Recognize the extent to which a culture s structures and values may oppress, marginalize, alienate, or create or enhance privilege and power. (b) Gain sufficient self-awareness to eliminate the influence of personal biases and values in working with diverse groups. (c) Recognize and communicate their understanding of the importance of difference in shaping life experiences. Educational Policy 2.1.6 Engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed research. Social workers use practice experience to inform research, employ evidence-based interventions, evaluate their own practice, and use research findings to improve practice, policy, and social service delivery. Social workers comprehend quantitative and qualitative research and understand scientific and ethical approaches to building knowledge. Social workers: (a) Use research evidence to inform practice. Educational Policy 2.1.7 Apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment. Social workers are knowledgeable about human behavior across the life course; the range of social systems in which people live; and the ways social systems promote or deter people in maintaining or achieving health and well-being. Social workers apply theories and knowledge from the liberal arts to understand biological, social, cultural, psychological, and spiritual development. Social workers: (a) Utilize conceptual frameworks to guide the processes of assessment, intervention, and evaluation. (b) Critique and apply knowledge to understand person and environment. Educational Policy 2.1.9 Respond to contexts that shape practice. Social workers are informed, resourceful, and proactive in responding to evolving organizational, community, and societal contexts at all levels of practice. Social workers
Page 4 of 18 recognize that the context of practice is dynamic, and use knowledge and skill to respond proactively. Social workers: (a) Continuously discover, appraise, and attend to changing locales, populations, scientific and technological developments, and emerging societal trends to provide relevant services. Course Materials Required Texts: Knudson-Martin, C. & Mahoney, A. R. (2009). Couples, Gender and POWER: Creating Change in Intimate Relationship. New York: Springer Publishing Co. ISBN: 978-0-82611-521-8 American Psychological Association. (2010). Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (6 th ed.). Washington, DC: Author. ISBN: 978-1-4338-0561-5 Selected Articles and Book Chapters. NOTE: All assignments submitted in this course are to be written in strict accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6 th ed.). Grading Information Grading Scale: 90 100 = A 80 89 = B 70 79 = C 60 69 = D 59 or Below = F Content Mastery The mastery threshold for this course is set at 80%. Any assignment not receiving a score of 80% or better will indicate a need for further engagement with the material. Students will be required to provide additional evidence of mastery of the material. The final examination, class exercises, group exercises, professional performance, and any assignment due after week 14 are ineligible for this requirement. Opportunities to provide additional evidence of mastery will vary by assignment. Rationale: Students in are expected to demonstrate mastery of the concepts, skills, ethics, values, and knowledge required of a bachelor level social worker in a practice setting. If a student has not done so, moving on to new material will likely be unhelpful. This provides that each student is given the appropriate opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the material by engaging in self-directed activities. This also attempts to resemble the types of feedback and correction process experienced in a multitude of social work settings for new social workers or social workers orienting to a new practice setting.

Page 9 of 18 Attendance Policy: An expectation of a professional social worker is that they are present in their practice setting.

Thus, my expectation of you is that you will be fully present in class- physically and mentally. Class begins and ends at the scheduled time. I ask that you be present for the duration of class. I expect that all other demands of your time- work, family, appointments, other courses, etc. will be negotiated with this in mind. There is no grade penalty for the first 3 absences (this is not an invite to miss class). any additional absence will result in a loss of 10 points off of your total grade. Please refer to ASU policy regarding class attendance. being more than 5 minutes late for class will count as an absence. Make-up examinations will be considered on a case by case basis and will only be allowed for university approved absences. Late assignments are not accepted for any reason unless the reason is approved by the course instructor. A deduction of 10% per day will be applied to any late assignment the instructor chooses to accept. All students are expected to follow the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics.
