Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper describes an innovative teaching model to build social work student competence in child abuse and neglect through agency and university collaboration. This model is unique in utilizing both a professional educator and a professional practitioner to design, plan, and teach a competency-based curriculum which addresses both social work educational needs and specific job-related expectations. The collaborative teaching model moves social work education toward practice relevancy, and social work practice toward theoretical grounding. Collaborative small group learning in adult education guide the process of student competency development. Course methodology, evaluation, benefits and challenges are examined.
