• Select at least five scholarly sources to support your final report. The sources can be from the Learning Resources throughout the course or from your own independent literature searches. 

Submit a 2- to 3-page final report of your Social Change Project. The final report should include the following: 

• Provide a brief synopsis of the social problem and policy you identified. 
• Describe the steps of your project: 
  • How did your experiences as a social work professional and your own goals for advocacy inform your selection of a social problem? 
  • How did your knowledge of, or prior experiences with, the social problem inform your policy analyses? 
  • What did you learn through each step, including your selection of a social problem, identification of a policy, proposal for advocacy, and recommendation for a policy alternative? 
• Reflecting on your experience, identify 2–3 opportunities for growth. What would you do differently based on your recent learnings?  
  • For example, you might select a different policy alternative that would be better received by elected officials (or other decision makers in a position of power). Or you might use different strategies when speaking in front of a group to advocate for change. 
• Explain how policy relates to direct practice. 
• Describe how you will apply advocacy skills as a social worker. 
• Be sure to incorporate at least five scholarly articles you found using standard APA format.
