Description
Teaching in Social Work: An Educators' Guide to Theory and Practice by Jeane W. Anastas provides a comprehensive approach to teaching within the field of social work. Drawing from her extensive experience, Anastas explores how social issues, professional norms, and educational settings impact interactions among educators, students, and their subjects. The book focuses on identifying factors that result in effective educational outcomes, drawing on theories and research findings from higher education and social work education literature. It examines the critical aspects of teaching and learning as an adult, the best uses of different instructional modalities, and the issues of diversity that influence all aspects of teaching and learning. Anastas also engages with key topics such as field learning, teaching technology, ethics, teaching and learning assessments, and faculty work in full-time social work education. With guest-authored chapters on these subjects, this book offers a valuable resource for educators seeking to improve their practice.
