Assessment Task 1: Presentation

Goal: To demonstrate the ability to create a genogram and an ecomap and relate this back to an ethical framework

Format: Please be advised that assessments within this unit have been specifically tailored to meet the AASW Social Work Education and Accreditation Standards (2012) 'acquisition of skills for social work practice' ensuring graduate students are job ready. Assessments integrate both social work theory and practice to replicate 'real world' assessments and case management procedures and practices.

Students are to prepare and present a 10 minute oral / PowerPoint presentation to their fellow peers based upon a case study they have chosen. Students are required to consider the audience as fellow community / human services/ social worker colleagues at a field placement location, collaboratively discussing a client's case. These oral presentations will occur in tutorial sessions. Annotated slides will be placed on Black board for marking. Students must attend their allocated tutorial to have their slide marked unless a medical certificate or EAP plan precludes them. In this case students will be required to present directly to the course co-ordinator and/or the tutor. Students are required to complete the following;

• A genogram. All generations presented with correct genealogical symbols used.
• Ecomap for the family. All relationships between individuals presented with correct symbols used denoting age, location, levels of education, illness, substance use etc.
• Discuss a SW approach to working with this family and link this to AASW Code of Ethics

Explain: Provide an account of why or how a particular situation occurs, with the aim of clarifying reasons, causes and effects.
Summarize: Provide a brief statement covering the main points.
Relate: Either explain how things happened or are connected in a cause and effect sense, or may imply 'compare' and 'contrast'

Assessment Task 2: Case Study

Goal: To demonstrate an understanding of human developmental theories, attachment theory and
child centered approach with a reflection on personal values.

Format: Students are to answer the following questions utilising credible, relevant and reliable supporting materials. Assessments are to be submitted via Black board for marking and review through Safe Assign. Students must submit their assessment for marking by the designated deadline.

Regrettably there is no capacity for reviewing draft versions of this assignment. Exemptions maybe granted to those students who have a medical certificate or an EAP plan which precludes them from submitting assessment as per the required deadline. In the case of all other extensions, students will be required to contact the course co-ordinator directly to request an extension and to discuss an alternative submission date. Masters students are permitted a word count of 2,500.
Students are required to continue on with their chosen case study from assessment 1. Students will write a reflective report. The audience for this report will be a fictitious field supervisor. It must contain the following information;
• Discussion and critical assessment of attachment theory and it's application to the case study.
• Discussion and explanation of either Piaget's or Erickson's developmental stages and its application to the case study.
• Definition and examination of what is 'a child centered approach'
• Identification and exploration of the students own identified personal values and how these may affect engaging and working effectively with this family?

Glossary of terms:
Discuss: Provide detail about and evidence for and against two or more different views or ideas (often with reference to a statement in the title); often includes explaining which views or ideas seem stronger
Critically analyse: As per 'analysis', but questioning and testing the strength of your and others' analysis from different perspectives; often means using the process of analysis to make the whole essay an objective, reasoned argument (an overall case)
