Assignment 2: Case Presentation

During your field education experience, you will interact with multiple clients. As you interact with clients and review your process recordings, you might discover that one client stands out. This may be due to the services needed or a potential case history that interests you.

As a future social worker, preparing a case presentation allows you to present social work practice skills demonstrated in addressing client needs to your colleagues.

For this Assignment, you will submit a case presentation of a client you encountered during your field education experience. Review your field education experience notes and your previous process recordings.

The Assignment: (4–5 pages)

Create a Case Presentation that includes the following:

  • An explanation of your agency and the services offered
  • A description of your client to include demographics, presenting problem, goal, legal/ethical considerations, assessment, and proposed treatment/social services delivery plan and the inclusion of termination plans if applicable
  • An explanation of whether interacting with your client demonstrated social work practice skills
  • Identification of potential social work skills not demonstrated in your agency or field placement to include a proposed professional development plan
  • An explanation of how preparing and engaging in a formal case presentation represents a component of professional social work
