Pursuing a graduate social work degree at Walden University requires academic achievement. The foundation of this journey is academic skill development, which helps students thrive in research, critical thinking, and communication. Refining these abilities is essential in social work, where knowledge is utilized to meet vulnerable populations' needs. This paper discusses the importance of academic abilities, focuses on three objectives, and proposes a plan to achieve them in four weeks to guarantee a successful and effective academic journey.
Goal 1: Improve Research and Information Literacy
In academia, research and information literacy are the foundation of academic work. Researching and critically assessing information sources are my first academic skill-building objective. This goal is crucial because it affects academic paper quality and social work's evidence-based practices (Cox et al., 2019).
Specific Goal: I aim to improve my research skills and capacity to evaluate information sources critically.
Measurable: I will track the number of academic publications and reliable sources I use in my assignments to track my development. This quantitative statistic will track my progress.
Achievable: This aim is easily attainable using Walden University's considerable resources. I will use the library's wide resources, internet databases, and related courses to develop strong research skills.
Relevant: Producing high-quality academic papers, the lifeblood of graduate study, requires this competence. It also supports social work's evidence-based practice philosophy.
Timely: I set a timetable since this aim is urgent. Walden's research training courses will occupy me for four weeks. I hope to use these new abilities immediately to improve my research skills for MSW program issues.
Goal 2: Improve Academic Writing and Communication
The art of effective written communication is academic achievement and social work competency. My second academic skill-building goal is to write effectively and simply about complex subjects (Reisch, 2016).
Specific goal: My objective is to improve my ability to explain complicated ideas, theories, and insights.
Measurable: My written assignments and the professor's comments will determine my progress toward this aim. Improved clarity, coherence, and conciseness will show skill improvement.
Achievable: Walden University's Writing Center has several writing guidelines and tutoring programs to help me achieve my objective. As I improve my writing, these materials will help me.
Relevant: Effective communication, particularly writing, is essential in social work and academia. Successful practice requires clear communication with coworkers, clients, and stakeholders.
Timely: I have a proactive strategy to improve my writing and communication abilities. Regular writing practice will occur over the following four weeks. I also plan to ask Walden University writing instructors for advice. These timely steps will keep my growth constant and quantifiable.
Goal 3: Improve Organization and Time Management
Effective time management is crucial in the fast-paced world of graduate study. My third academic skill-building goal is to improve my time management to balance school, assignments, and personal obligations (Cox et al., 2019).
Specific Goal: My specific objective is to master time management so I can balance academics, assignments, and life.
Measurable: Meeting assignment deadlines and, more importantly, eliminating procrastination will measure progress toward this target. Meeting deadlines and avoiding procrastination will demonstrate my progress.
Achievable: I aim to use Walden University's extensive time management tools and services. This offers time management training and professional advice to improve these abilities.
Relevant: Time management is essential for academic success and social work program rigor. My academic experience and future as a well-rounded and skilled social worker are linked.
Timely: I will start a time management strategy quickly since I need to improve. I will strictly follow this strategy in the following four weeks and properly record its performance. This timeline will let me assess my progress and make modifications in real time.
In conclusion, the academic skill-building goals in this essay are crucial to my success in Walden University's Master of Social Work (MSW) program and my future social work practice. These aims represent the foundation of my ability to improve the lives of the people I serve, not only academic endeavors. Research and information literacy, academic writing and communication, and time management are interconnected abilities that will empower me as a student and potential social worker. These abilities are the bedrock upon which my academic and professional progress will bloom, allowing me to deliver evidence-based, compassionate, and effective services to needy people, families, and communities. I also want to use Walden University's extensive academic skill assistance tools to achieve these objectives. The university's resources, seminars, and professional advice will help me grow my skills. With this unwavering devotion and Walden's resources, I am ready to develop and succeed academically and professionally.

Wk 6 Assignment: Improve Practice Using Evidence
Shontelle Ramsay
Define evidence-based practice in your own words.
Evidence based practice is ensuring that we use best practices that is supported by data to treat
our clients.
Our text reads “Evidence -based practice (EBP) is a process in which practitioners make practice
decisions in light of the best research evidence available.” (Kirst-Ashman, Hull 2018 p. 22)
Explain how you can improve your practice and achieve your professional goals by reading articles about practice or attending trainings and continuing education.
Once we complete our academic studies at Walden our educational journey continues outside
of the classroom. Whether it is maintaining our CEU’s or upholding our ethical responsibilities in
practice. According to NASW Code of Ethics 4.01 Competence, “social workers should accept
only responsibilities for which they are competent.” One of my personal goals once I graduate is
to work with clients that have experienced trauma in their life. To achieve competency, I am
aware knowledge is gained overtime only thru education, training and practice experience. We
may take the route of self-paced education and subscribe to scholarly journals or supervised
learning by attending trainings. Without knowledge of current data and trends we risk a
providing a dis-service to the community. “If social workers continue to fear research or are
unable to critically evaluate the literature, this may have serious consequences for their
practice, including doing harm in the process of helping.” Parrish, D. E. (2018).
Explain how you can improve practice by evaluating the outcomes of practice. o Provide an example by identifying whether you met or did not meet the goal from Week
2. Explain how you will use this information as you plan your skill development for moving forward in the
program.
“Practice evaluation is evaluating the effectiveness or results of what individual social workers
do.” (Kirst-Ashman, Hull 2018 p. 149)
When I think of evaluation, I think of an assessment of how things are going. When in practice
we need to be aware of what works and what does not. If I were in a private practice with
clients, I would implement satisfaction surveys, and evaluate the responses to determine if
there are any areas in where I need to increase my knowledge and skill set in order to better

serve the community. With increased knowledge and training we are better equipped to serve a
variety of issues at hand.
My goal from week 2 of class was to develop graduate skills over the next 4 weeks. In order to
meet this goal, I developed 3 interventions. My interventions included time management,
applying APA writing style, and applying critical thinking. I would say that I am still on a path to
achieving my goal, at this point I can say that I am at 75%. In order for me continue to achieve
this goal I need to evaluate my processes to determine if I need to make any changes.
My re-evaluation would be continuous throughout each semester. As I continue my studies in
the MSW program the expectations of knowledge, theories should be evident in the
assignments and discussions. By ensuring that I devote enough time to read text , this will allow
me to think critically on what was learned and demonstrate appropriate writing techniques.

IMPROVE PRACTICE USING EVIDENCE
When you hear the word “evidence” in evidence-based practice, you may think of hours in a library. But social workers seek evidence through many different sources, including supervisors, colleagues, trainings, conferences, scholarly publications, and professional journals.
At the same time, just because research is published does not mean it is without limitations. Social workers strive to be critical consumers of research related to practice. Even if you do not wish to conduct research, it is important to understand the language of research to determine whether or not the findings could be applied to the client population with whom you work. You also want to be able to evaluate your client outcomes to determine if the intervention you implemented was effective.
For this Assignment, you define evidence-based practice and the role of research evidence to improve practice in social work.

Paper does not meet length requirements either significantly too short or too long. The paper lacks clarity and coherence. Errors in grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation are major, pervasive (11+), and interfere with the message. The paper is not organized or lacks focus. ... Tone and presentation of ideas reveal bias and subjectivity.
