Course Description

The following courses are prerequisites for this course: SW331, 340, 341,351. Concurrent enrollment in SW495B is required. This course provides an adaptation of generalist social work practice to macro generalist practice with communities and institutions. Macro generalist practice is a form of social work to address social problems and for the social development of communities and institutions. Community organizers and developers in macro generalist practice use theories and technologies to help citizens join together to bring their values and beliefs into action. The social work goal is that they reach for and realize fully their individual and collective human potential. The course includes an analysis of theories and principles underlying macro practice, their application to organizational, communal, and institutional settings, and specific techniques and methods appropriate to community organizing and development.

Educational Goals

This is a methods course aimed at surveying the knowledge and skill base of macro practice with communities and institutions, to familiarize students with the specifics of the macro practitioner's role and the dynamics of the practice arena. The educational goals of this course include: (1) teaching one of the generalist social work practice methods and preparing students for entry-level BASW professional practice; and (2) equipping students with professional knowledge and skills for advanced standing in graduate social work education.

The search for social justice is the core value driving social work macro practice. The aim of the course is to give the student foundation knowledge and skill for professional practice that will promote more equitable distribution of income, goods, and services, and redistribution of basic political and economic resources, their costs and benefits. The social development goal is to help relieve the powerlessness that makes injustice inevitable and poverty inescapable.

The overall classroom experience is designed to develop in students the professional habit of practice and systematic reflection (incorporating scientific methods of observation and inquiry) that leads to continuous self-evaluation and strategic insight.

The goals of the course encompass teaching content and methods that enable social change by remedying problems through incremental policy and by social development through structural modifications. Both approaches require the full range of macro practice interventions--planning, organizing, and administering--although in differing proportions. Macro practitioners working for distributive and re-distributive ends may be employed in a broad range of settings--public and private, large and small--with both top-down and bottom-up sponsorship. Withal, community organizing and development, as a practical matter, involves four primary tasks: building community, building organization, building mobilization, and building institutions.

The course acknowledges as healthy the tensions between practices geared toward incremental and structural changes. There is an understanding that the macro practitioner must strive for balance between the pulls of different constituencies and the pressures of diverse sponsors, while remaining committed to action that promotes social justice.

Course Objectives

The course objectives are geared to:

  1. Develop the student's interest in studying community organizing and development as a generalist social work practice;
  2. Enhance the student's understanding of human diversity in the political-economic, socio-cultural, and socio-ecological forces that influence the process of community organizing and development;
  3. Assist the student's learning of various theories of community, ethnic organizations, and political-economic institutions, and the key concepts, skills, and strategies of community organizing and development;
  4. Help the student's practice of integrating knowledge of behavioral theories, social policies, research methods, assessment tools, and evaluation;
  5. Foster the student's attitude and professional responsibility toward social justice, universal humanity, and human diversity involved in changing communities, organizations, institutions, social policies, and legislation;
  6. Assist the student's evaluation of the planned changes in local communities, organizations, institutions, and social action programs; and
  7. Help the student's review of his or her own experiences of community practice in fieldwork agencies.

Course Expectations

Upon completion of this course, students are expected to achieve a basic level of competency to:

  1. Define and apply the various concepts and theories of power, community, community organizing and development, and social action as aspects of generalist social work practice;
  2. Describe the historical development of community organizing and development, and social action in the United States;
  3. Develop self-awareness and identify the field of action for professional practice and common elements of generalist practice with communities, organizations, and institutions;
  4. Clarify individual, professional, and target group values, ethnic values, strengths and obstacles related to planned intervention in community organization and institutional change;
  5. Analyze theories in the mainstream society and the communities of socio-cultural and human diversity, demonstrate ability to analyze a community as a part of an interactive socio-ecosystem and extrapolate its power structure, and major institutional leadership;
  6. Demonstrate an understanding of demographic-ethnic differences in working with various neighborhood groups, organizations, community networks, and social agencies;
  7. Define community issues, collect data, assess needs, engage in planning and contracting with community clients or social agencies, propose alternative interventions and appropriate courses of action as well as the current research methods in monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the collective efforts; and
  8. Develop a broad view of generalist practice with macro systems related to human diversity, ethnicity, gender, aging, poverty, disability, sexual orientation, and oppressed groups as well as work with other professionals in promoting community organization and development, social planning, social action and institutional change.

Teaching Philosophy

A balanced development of the student's intellectual, emotional, social, cultural, physical, ethical, and spiritual capacity and their potential achievements is the main concern of this social work course offering. This course aims to orient students into professional social work with a generalist practice in macro systems of community organizations and institutions. The integration of behavioral theories, socio-cultural theories, socio-ecological theories, political-economic theories, and historical-philosophical theories related to generalist social work practice is emphasized.

Course Methodology

The course teaching methods will include reading, lecture, discussion, classroom exercises and role-plays, videos, and team-produced video term projects.

If You're Having a Problem

1. Ask for help!

2. Call, e-mail, or see the instructor after class.

Contacting the Instructor Outside of Class

1. You need not have an appointment during my office hours, but if you plan to come from off campus it would be a good idea to call ahead to make sure I'm available.

2. You can send e-mail to me at kharakim@jps.net and I will almost always respond on the same day.

3. You can phone me at home at (323) 934-2925, although I don't take calls from sundown on Friday afternoon until after dark on Saturday evening; please don't call after 8 p.m. in the evening except for very urgent matters, although early morning calls (after 6:30 a.m.) are okay.

4. If you have questions, suggestions, concerns, or complaints about anything related to the class, please raise them with me.
