Abstract

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 virus produced unprecedented challenges in the delivery of social work education nationwide. This study focused on the innovative approaches and transition efforts of one college of social work in the United States. The evaluation data of these efforts for six face-to-face and online Master of Social Work (MSW) courses and visual data from polls conducted to assess the socioemotional status of students in two online MSW courses were analyzed. The results suggest that students were highly satisfied with the transition efforts. Three themes emerged, suggesting the need to balance course instruction with teacher–student empathy, flexibility, and compassion toward students’ challenges. This study suggests future strategies that could be permanently implemented with a focus on social justice.
