2 The Changing World and the Face of Social Work Education

Welcome to the 31st Annual BPD Conference in Louisville, KY! The history of this marvelous city serves

as the perfect backdrop to address our theme, The Changing World and the Face of Social Work Education. It is here that we will learn more about how social work faculty and students are forging new paths with regard to social work in an environment that constantly forces us to be aware of and adjust to change. We have worked diligently to ensure that this year’s conference is lively, exciting, and informative as we utilize various program opportunities to learn more about faculty contributions to practice, research and assessment in Social Work Education.

It has been said that the only constant is change. Thus, your proposal reviewers and conference planning committee members have spent countless hours making recommendations about sessions they believe will provide opportunities for learning with regard to the placement and role of social work in a changing world. Pre-conference sessions, workshops, paper presentations, and board sponsored events will offer much in the way of learning and development opportunities for faculty, administrators, and students involved with undergraduate Social Work Education. As always, we have also incorporated some opportunities for fun and fundraising among our colleagues and friends.

This year’s BPD Conference property is designed with the attendee in mind. Located in downtown Louisville, we are afforded many walking and dining opportunities both onsite and just outside the front doors. Readily accessible to all within the hotel, the Exhibit Hall is positioned so that you can move easily from sessions to visit our vendors and exhibitors and, then, back to sessions for networking and learning opportunities. Within the hotel, there are areas for comfortably visiting with colleagues who have already taken advantage of what the Exhibit Hall has to offer. We ask that you be sure to attend the Salons and other evening activities designed to help promote networking opportunities around emerging issues in education and practice. Finally, there will be dancing, our Annual Banquet and even chances to get out and tour historic Louisville. In the event you need assistance or would like more information about any of these events, our Conference Planning Committee, BPD Board Members, and Association Director are here to assist you.

On behalf of the BPD Board, the Conference Planning Committee, and members of the Local Planning Committee, we offer a sincere “Thank You” for being a part of the BPD Conference in Louisville, KY. We offer best wishes for a wonderful conference and remember Kansas City, MO awaits you in 2015!

Evidence Based Macro Practice in Social Work (2014) deals with the latest trends in Macro Practice, critically challenging readers to delve into the scientific aspects of community organization, planning and management. Numerous case studies taken from actual experiences highlight all the chapters. In addition, wherever possible, we provide practical tools, techniques and evidence-based approaches that students will be able to use in their professional work. Using communities and organizations as the context for exploring ideas, students should gain an appreciation of the complex forces under which they will be operating, acquire specific tools to help them function better, and develop insights about the interactions between staff and agencies and the larger systems that affect the social work field.

Brief summaries are provided at the end of each chapter to stimulate class discussion, and we provide a list of questions and possible assignments at the end of each chapter. Depending on the preference of the instructor, students may use the questions as a spring-board for classroom discussion or as a basis for written assignments.

Murali D. Nair, PhD, Senior Fulbright Scholar is a Clinical Professor, and Co-chair of Community Organization/Planning/ Administration Concentration (COPA) at the University of Southern California School of Social Work.

Erick Guerrero, PhD. is an Assistant Professor, and Co-Director of the Management, Organization and Policy Transformation Research Cluster at the University of Southern California, School of Social Work.

JoaN ZlotNiKRon Federico Memorial Lecturer

In Fall 2013, I will be starting my Masters in Social Work at the University of Missouri. I plan to train in clinical therapy during my MSW and after I complete my coursework, I plan to take the licensing exam to secure a license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). While I am completing my Master’s coursework, I intend to work in a clinical setting where I can increase my familiarity with real life behavioral, social, and biological diagnoses. I plan to work at institutions such as Heartland Behavioral Health Services or Pathways in Nevada, MO, which would help me gain the experiences necessary to work directly with clients to develop plans that help them manage their goals. I am confident these practical clinical experiences would build a foundation that would complement my social work education and in long term help me be more effective with clients in a clinical setting.

For more than 25 years, Joan Levy Zlotnik’s professional career has focused on strengthening the bridges between research, practice, policy and education and forging academic/agency partnerships. She directs NASW’s think tank, the Social Work Policy Institute (SWPI). She previously served as executive director of the Institute for the Advancement of Social Work Research and was worked at both NASW & CSWE. Dr. Zlotnik is an internationally recognized expert on workforce issues and author of numerous publications and monographs, including on accessing federal funding, child welfare partnerships, aging, social work competencies, building social work research infrastructure and evidence-based practice.

Dr. Jim Wahlberg provided longstanding service to and leadership in social work and social work education. He served on CSWE’s Commission on Accreditation (COA) for two consecutive terms, 1992-1998. As a commissioner, he undertook the task of developing evaluative grids required for the self-study process, used by both social work programs across the country and the COA.

While on the Commission, he also chaired the Site Visitation Committee and made commissioner site visits to 17 programs that were applying for initial accreditation. Over an 11 year period, he provided

consultation to 8 additional social work programs. He was a member of and held leadership positions in the North Dakota Conference on Social Welfare for 30 years and was active in North Dakota’s Chapter of NASW for 27 years. He was a member of BPD from 1984 until his death and additionally served on the BPD Board of Directors for two, two-year terms. He also chaired the BPD Nominating Committee. Because he was active in the health and wellness component of the BPD conferences, the Jim Wahlberg Walk-Run has become a permanent part of the annual conference.

Over the years he became one of the primary spokespersons for BSW curriculum development and accreditation during workshop presentations at BPD and CSWE annual conferences. For 11 years he provided psycho-social assessments and recommendations in child custody determinations in North Dakota. In North Dakota he also served as a member and/or chair of the following professional groups: Advisory Committee for the American Indian Urban Higher Education Initiative, the Hispanic Advocacy and Commuity Empowerment through Research Community Council, the Mental Health Associate Degree Advisory Committee, the Board of Directors and Personnel Committee of the Minot Samaritan Center, the Curriculum Subcommittee of the Governor’s Joint Committee of Higher Education and Human Services on Mental Health Professions, the Minot Inter-Agency Council, and other local community groups. His first social work education position was in Minot, North Dakota, where he directed the BSW Program from 1976-1994 and chaired the Social Work, Gerontology and Criminal Justice Department from 1984-1997. In 1997, Jim left Minot to assume the Deanship of Professional and Community Studies at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he established an accredited baccalaureate social work program. In 1999 he moved to Tennessee to become the chair of the Social Work Department and Director of a new MSW Program at East Tennessee State University, with responsibility for building that program. While his untimely death less than 9 weeks later prevented bringing that dream to fruition, the foundation he laid provided impetus for an MSW program at ETSU, which was accredited in 2007 for four years.

Ethics and Risk Management in the New Era of Social WorkThis session, developed especially for social workers, is sponsored by NASW Assurance Services, Inc. (ASI) of Frederick, MD, and describes the most significant malpractice risks in social work today and numerous methods of mitigating and reducing one’s risk of being sued for malpractice.

The presentation is intended for social workers in all settings and positions, not just the clinical, therapeutic mental health setting. The session will cover key concepts in risk management, such as confidentiality and its exceptions, duty to warn, and informed consent. The seminar will reveal the major reasons why social workers are sued and what you can do about those risks. We will define what constitutes a malpractice case and emphasize important recordkeeping issues, guidelines for supervision, special tips for clinical and private practitioners, and brief you about your malpractice insurance, its special features and implications for your practice.

A free attendee toolkit will be distributed at the workshop which contains information about ASI, the workshop presenters, resources for managing your malpractice risk, insurance FAQs, and insurance applications.

How This Affects YouIf you are working with a client who has admitted anger issues, you may discover that he or she has harmed someone in the past. Depending on your state of practice, you may be required to warn about your client’s risk to do harm again — either to him/herself or to another person. For many social workers, this causes an ethical and legal dilemma: keep your client’s information confidential or fulfill an obligation to warn your state about a potentially dangerous situation?

What the NASW-Endorsed Policy Can Do to Protect YouThe NASW-Endorsed Professional Liability Insurance Program offers an exclusive Risk Management Helpline to support insured policyholders with such questions. Staffed by personnel experienced in risk and claims management, the helpline provides assistance on how to handle such situations.
