Social work students and practitioners can struggle to get their head around the application of theory and associated methods of intervention derived from the social sciences to social work practice. Although there are a number of texts on this topic available, this book offers a fresh approach written with the ''non-theoretician'' in mind. After exploring the expectations and limits of application of theory to practice, author Phil Musson sets about describing theories of explanation and their associated methods of intervention. He follows this by looking at theoretically driven approaches and their associated methods of intervention. One generic case study is used throughout to present issues the reader can use to understand how the theory of explanation or approach and the associated method of intervention is applied. The text also offers opportunities for the reader to engage their critical thinking skills as they are invited to think critically about the theories of explanation and approaches discussed. Making Sense of Theory and Its Application to Social Work Practice will be of immense value to both social work students and practitioners.

Education for Critical Consciousness is the main statement of Freire's revolutionary method of education. It takes the life situation of the learner as its starting point and the raising of consciousness and the overcoming of obstacles as its goals. For Freire, man's striving for his own humanity requires the changing of structures which dehumanize both the oppressor and the oppressed.

An innovative guide for social workers who are about to take the next step in their career to become a social work manager, or who may have recently taken on that role. Practitioners will learn how they can prepare for this transition, how it really feels to be a manager, and how to develop their professional identity.Despite the interest in how social work roles are managed and led, the actual experience of the transition to social work manager can be overlooked. Many books written around this topic focus on the skills needed to be a manager, management and organisational concepts rather than how it feels to go through the process and how to cope as a new manager.This book draws on a relationship-based model, proposing that relationships play a significant part in the transition into management. It emphasises the importance of how managers support their teams and individuals while also caring for themselves.Based on research with newly promoted social work managers, this book features in-depth case studies which illustrate four significant points in the transitional journey:preparation for the role,multiple identities,managing people, andself-care. The concluding chapter offers a practical model that readers considering social work management can utilise within their own ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences ...
