This subject provides students of the Master of Social Work with an opportunity to
reflect on their personal journey through social work studies, reviewing areas of
learning and development as they relate to the professional practice standards for
graduating social workers. It is expected that on completion of the subject, students
will be able to articulate their vision for practice, including the values underpinning
the way they intend to practice; their preferred ideological position and the skills
and strengths they will bring to their practice as entry level social workers. Importantly,
students will also be able to articulate the challenges they may encounter when working
in the sector. Pathways to maintaining optimism and commitment to socially just and
rights based practice will also be explored. Attendance at the 8 day workshop is compulsory.
Learning Outcomes

practices and inequities;
