There are many ways to develop graduate skills over the next 4 weeks. The first way to

develop graduate skills is to develop effective speaking and writing skills for all levels of

audiences that I will have to address in both my school and work careers. I will develop this skill

by using the writing tutors to review my papers, as necessary.

The second skill I am going to develop over the next 4 weeks is to make sure I use

reliable resources and do not plagiarize in my papers throughout my school and work career. I

will obtain this skill by using the safe assign checker for every paper and assignment that I

submit. To achieve this goal, I will also use the Walden library that is filled with academic

journals and videos to assist in my research for my assignments.

A third way I plan to develop graduate skills over the next 4 weeks is to make sure that I

understand Walden’s code of conduct and ethical codes. Understanding the code of conduct is

crucial to make sure that I do everything in my power to remain a student at Walden and not

jeopardize my student career. I will develop this skill by reviewing the Student Conduct and

Responsibilities in the Walden Catalog at least once a quarter.

A fourth way I plan to develop graduate skill sis to assess my own needs and progress,

this is crucial to make sure that I am managing my caseload properly and to make sure that I

am not becoming overwhelmed with my school-work-life balance. I will develop this skills by

checking in with my student advisor at least once a month to make sure my needs are being

met and to make sure I am on the proper track I need to graduate. Having an advisor will also

allow me to discuss if I have am having any issues in my current course load.

Lastly, I plan on building a professional network to develop graduate skills. I plan on

creating a network by joining the Walden Facebook Group for Social Work, which I have already

done. I plan to reach out in the group to build networks with prior students who have resided

near me to discuss fieldwork placements. I also plan to build a professional network through the

Facebook group by discussing with classmates certain questions or concerns that I may have.

In conclusion, I believe that it is crucial to use the available resources that Walden

University provides to develop my graduate skills to ensure that I am excelling at my schooling

and achieving all I need to, to be the best student that I can be.

MSWWEEK2SMARTGOALCRITERIA.pdf

SMART Goal Criteria

S is for specific.

The more specificity you bring to your goal, the clearer it is.

• Vague goal: “I want to advance in my company.” How exactly would you like to advance—in

terms of money or title? What position would you like to hold?

• More specific goal: “I want to advance to the position of senior sales manager.”

M is for measurable.

You must be able to track your progress toward the goal and understand when you have attained it.

Measurability allows for that.

• Not measurable: “Get better at public speaking.”

• Measurable and specific: “Give one class lecture without stuttering.” If you do not stutter during

the class, you know you have achieved the goal.

A is for achievable or attainable.

One tendency with goal setting is to aim too high, but that approach can set goals beyond our reach.

• Likely not achievable: “Earn my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree within 1 year of starting.”

This goal is not feasible due to workload and the established timeline of the program. Likewise,

“Become an executive chef in a three-star restaurant within 2 years” is not likely to happen if you

are currently a dishwasher with no culinary training. So… be conservative when determining

what is actually achievable.

R is for relevant.

This criterion ensures that the goal is important to you right now, at this point in your life.

• For instance, if your goal is “Start my own home health care business by the end of the year,”

consider what else is going on in your life. What other goals are you working toward? How does

this goal help or hinder those? Perhaps you have just bought a house, which has reduced your

finances; it might not make sense to invest in a business at this point as well.

T is for timely or time bound.

Every goal must include a deadline or timeframe. Otherwise, why would you ever start it? The

procrastinator in you might just keep waiting and waiting and never take action.

• When determining an appropriate goal timeframe, ask yourself how long you need to realistically

complete the goal. This date gives you the end point, but it should also spark a desire to achieve

mini goals along the way to attaining the larger goal.

Social Work History

archival photo of women holding a banner that reads Peace

Since the first social work class was offered in the summer of 1898 at Columbia University, social workers have led the way developing private and charitable organizations to serve people in need. Social workers continue to address the needs of society and bring our nation’s social problems to the public’s attention.

Today, Americans enjoy many privileges because early social workers saw miseries and injustices and took action, inspiring others along the way. Many of the benefits we take for granted came about because social workers—working with families and institutions—spoke out against abuse and neglect.

The civil rights of all people regardless of gender, race, faith, or sexual orientation are protected.

Workers enjoy unemployment insurance, disability pay, worker’s compensation and Social Security.

People with mental illness and developmental disabilities are now afforded humane treatment.

Medicaid and Medicare give poor, disabled and elderly people access to health care.

Society seeks to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Treatment for mental illness and substance abuse is gradually losing its stigma.

The social work profession celebrated its centennial in 1998. That year, several important artifacts from across the country were donated to the Smithsonian Institution to commemorate 100 years of professional social work in the United States.

Social work pioneer Jane Addams was one of the first women to receive a Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded in 1931. Known best for establishing settlement houses in Chicago for immigrants in the early 1900s, Addams was a dedicated community organizer and peace activist.

Frances Perkins, a social worker, was the first woman to be appointed to the cabinet of a U.S. President. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Secretary of Labor, Perkins drafted much of the New Deal legislation in the 1940s.

Social worker and civil rights trailblazer Whitney M. Young, Jr. became the executive director of the National Urban League while serving as dean for the Atlanta School of Social Work. He also served as president of NASW in the late 1960s. A noted expert in American race relations, Time Magazine acknowledged Young as a key inspiration for President Johnson’s War on Poverty.

Other famous social workers include Harry Hopkins (Works Progress Administration), Dorothy Height (National Council of Negro Women), and Jeanette Rankin (the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress).

everyone has a story - Institute of Oral History for Social Work - listen in, lean in, share your story today

Social Work Oral History

The history of social work is long and deep. The stories of our profession are not that of just social workers, but the communities they serve, the lives they changed and the policies they drove. Our history, our stories are that of civil rights activists, social justice warriors, human rights champions, family advocates, suffragists and community leaders.

The NASW New Jersey chapter launched this project in conjunction with StoryCorps. The oral histories will be preserved in the Library of Congress American Folklife Center.

SKILL BUILDING GOALS

Social work is a practice profession—you apply your learning in practical ways. In the same way, you apply your learning to serve clients, you can seek out and apply solutions to your academic needs in a practical way. Academic skills are not magical or illusive—they can be learned, strengthened, and applied to achieve your goals. In this case, your ultimate goal is a graduate degree in social work, applied to help those in need.

Walden University offers many resources for academic skill development. The challenge is more often finding the time and focus to utilize these resources effectively. Spending the time and energy now to develop these skills will support and enhance your overall success within the MSW program.

Paralleling the work you will do with clients, this Assignment asks you to engage in self-assessment, goal development, and implementation of a plan. The purpose here is to think about the skills you would like to develop over the next 4 weeks and simply envision how you could accomplish that goal. Like many plans, it is not permanent. It can change—think of this as a work in progress, with the focus on self-reflection.
