INTRODUCTION
Your journey from social work inspiration has brought you to a new milestone. You are nearly through your first course; but really, your journey has just begun. The same is true for social work practitioners—the journey is ever evolving, with constant learning applied to improve practice.
In the field, you will hear this concept referred to as evidence-based practice, or EBP, which is a process used by social workers to guide their practice according to the best available evidence. Social workers use evidence, in conjunction with clinical expertise and the client’s values, to determine which interventions to employ. The EBP process then asks practitioners to measure client outcomes to determine if intervention was effective with this specific client.
This week, you explore ways to improve practice with evidence and its relationship to social work. In addition, you submit your presentation on your interview with a social worker.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
Analyze an interview with a social worker
Analyze evidence-based practice in social work practice
Analyze evaluation of outcomes in social work
INTERVIEW WITH A SOCIAL WORKER

Thinking back to your social work inspiration in Week 1, consider whether your perspective has changed, your goals have expanded, or you have affirmed your reason for beginning this journey. Now, reflect on what you learned as you interviewed a social worker in the field for this Assignment. How could you apply what you learned in your coursework to the field of practice you learned more about in person through the interview?
Does the combination of your inspiration, you’re learning, and your experience with a social worker in practice help you visualize your future as a social worker?
