Description / Abstract
In the context of rapid change in social work practice related to policy, research findings, and theoretical developments, faculty are challenged to prepare students to engage in lifelong learning, a concept that has not been well-articulated in social work education. The current COVID-19 pandemic already has fundamentally transformed social work practice and education. The discussion and future directions provides tools and techniques that can be employed so that the social worker profession can envision many exciting and innovative possibilities to achieve the profession†™s goals of enhancing human well-being and advancing social justice for devalued populations.
