EVALUATION IN CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE- Single Case Evaluation And Program Evaluation

EVALUATION IN CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE- Single Case Evaluation And Program Evaluation

I am attaching two templates to be used in the 2 assignments. I am also attaching the question file from where you will get all details for the two assignments. I want someone who is good with gramar and social work to handle this.

EACH ASSIGNMENT SHOULD BE 15 PAGES or more

The Agency I intern at is Child Home Society and their website is www.chsfl.org. I have some articles that may help you in either of the asignments.

SW 685 – EVALUATION IN CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE

PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR STUDENT LEARNING

(ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING RUBRIC)

There are two major assignments for this class – a Single System Design Project and a Program

Evaluation Project.

There will also be regular quizzes (3-6) throughout the semester to ensure that assigned readings

are completed and comprehended.

ASSIGNMENT 1: Evaluation of Clinical Practice: Single System Design

The student will design and conduct a single system evaluation of clinical work with a client

system (individual, group, family, agency, etc.) from the student’s field placement. Students

must complete the following steps:

1) Identify the client goal (i.e., behavior to be changed).

2) Identify the intervention (provide an evidence-based rationale).

3) Design a multiple-baseline single system evaluation.

4) Select a practical and valid outcome measure (provide rationale) that can be repeatedly

assessed over time.

5) Implement the design and gather data over a six week time period.

6) Plot a graph of the baseline & intervention outcome phases. Explain your findings and

describe how these findings inform a potential program design within the field agency.

(Addresses SLOs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9)

Assignment 2 – Evaluation of Clinical Practice: Program Evaluation

Step 1:

During this step of the evaluation students will identify an agency program (e.g., intervention,

prevention) aimed to address an identified client need and assess the extent to which it meets best

practice standards.

 Students should provide a narrative description of the program and the agency (e.g., theoretical model/framework, agency mission, program goals, target population,

community context, need being addressed by the program, length and duration, mode of

delivery etc.).

 Students must then present a comprehensive review of the “best practice” literature associated with the target population’s identified need (e.g., best practices for preventing

teen pregnancy among adolescent girls; best practices for intervening with substance

using older adult veterans; best practices for improving parenting skills and family

functioning). In this section, students must attend to the best practices associated with a

given problem area (e.g. teen pregnancy, substance use, poor parenting skills), as well as

relevant developmental (adolescence, adulthood, older adulthood) and cultural (e.g.,

race/ethnicity, immigration status, military/war culture) factors.

Step 2:

During this step students will assess program process. That is, students will assess program

performance in the domains of service utilization and program organization. Students should

answer the following questions:

 How many persons are receiving services?
