Abstract

ABSTRACTThe Council on Social Work Education’s Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards outline expectations for social work education to reflect human diversity in the learning environment. Exposing social work students to a diversity-enriched curriculum can help prepare them for culturally competent practice. This article presents an innovative approach to the presentation of a diversity topic to master of social work students.
