Curriculum Development
The Curriculum and In-Service Training Committee of the CalSWEC Board of Directors was established to implement and oversee the curriculum evaluation process to ensure that classroom and field work are integrated. The committee approves curriculum development projects:
- To create curricula that will take existing knowledge about a topic and put it into a form that can be used to teach public child welfare, and
- To cover specific competency gaps in the graduate social work programs identified through the annual curriculum evaluations (snapshots).
Project coordinators at the state's accredited social work graduate schools work in collaboration with the county welfare agencies to ensure that classes provide the theoretical basis for field experience and that competencies are taught experientially in the field.
The curriculum products listed below include curricula developed by the Curriculum Committee and those developed from the Research & Development Committee-funded projects. Curriculum products, listed by year of publication below, may be obtained for cost from the CalSWEC Library:
