Discussion 2: Cultural Competence

When you obtain your PhD in social work or your DSW, you may decide to teach. There are many avenues to pursue teaching. There is the traditional route—obtaining a faculty position in higher education, for example, or a faculty position in an accredited social work program. There are other less traditional routes, such as supervising social work students who are in field placement at your agency or developing instructional curricula for universities/colleges or in other settings. Regardless of the setting in which you teach, a theory often informs your teaching style.

Theories conceptualizing cultural competence play just such a role in shaping teaching strategies. The Council on Social Work Education requires social work programs to address diversity in their content, which underscores the importance of cultural competence in the field. More than likely, all agree on the assumption that social workers need to be culturally competent in their practice. However, there is no one way to go about teaching cultural competency to social work students.

In this Discussion, you have an opportunity to examine different theories and approaches in the definition and conceptualization of cultural competence in social work. After reviewing many approaches, Kohli, Huber, and Faul (2010) started to delineate recommendations for social work education. They advocated that “social work students need to be educated to become self-aware and have an appreciation of their own value systems,” and “they need to be immersed in cultural experiences where they observe the uniqueness of every individual” (p. 268). These two recommendations are abstract. As a future social work educator, you will need to generate specific ideas for teaching cultural competency at either the undergraduate or graduate level.

To prepare:

Read the following article listed in the Learning Resources: Kohli, H. K., Huber, R., & Faul, A. C. (2010). Historical and theoretical development of culturally competent social work practice. Journal of Teaching in Social Work, 30(3), 252–271. doi:10.1080/08841233.2010.499091

By Day 4

Post:

• Select one social work approach from Table 3 of Kohli et al. (pp. 262–265). Explain in 2–3 sentences your rationale for selecting this approach for informing your teaching strategies.
• Describe in 3–4 sentences one specific teaching strategy to promote self-awareness among social work students. Be sure to indicate whether you are targeting undergraduate or graduate social work students.
• Evaluate how the above teaching strategy aligns with the approach you selected.
• Describe in 3–4 sentences one specific teaching strategy to help students observe the uniqueness of individuals. Be sure to indicate whether you are targeting undergraduate or graduate social work students.
• Evaluate how the above teaching strategy aligns with the approach you selected.

Assignment 2: LASA 2 Assignment—Workforce 2020 Executive Report

Both leadership and organizational strategy in the next decade will see major trends affecting the way organizations conduct business. These include the deployment of more technology to extend reach and access, increased globalization, increased diversity, more focus on extended supply chains, and a more nomadic workforce. In this assignment, you will consider these trends and analyze how they may impact your selected organization and what actions are necessary to get ready to address these trends.

You have been appointed by your organization (either a hypothetical one or one you are familiar with) to prepare its Workforce 2020 executive report.

The report should be as detailed as possible for the CEO of your organization. That means it should include the key points of your research, analysis, and findings. The report should also contain examples of specific application to your company in a clear, concise, and informative document.

In Module 4, you began your research on Workforce 2020. In this module, you will expand on the work you did in Module 4. Take Module 4’s paper, and incorporate the items below into your work. Be sure to use the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, including federal guidelines. Select at least 3–4 scholarly resources for use in this assignment.

Complete the following:

1. Analyze your organization in its present form. Explain your organization’s structure, workforce diversity, market/customer diversity, and communications technology.
2. Forecast future trends. Identify the economic, social, demographic, and workforce parameters that are expected to be in the U.S. in the year 2020. Explain how those trends will or will not be reflected in your organization. Consider addressing the following:
   1. What are the general workforce trends?
   2. How will these trends impact your industry?
   3. What are the general trends in leadership/management that are impacting your organization?
3. Synthesize data and recommend changes needed for the future. Identify and recommend leader, organizational, and workforce trends that must be considered for change in the larger macro environment (for example, advances in technology or globalization) in your organization. Identify related outcomes for each specific topic: Consider addressing the following:
   1. What leadership actions should the organization take?
   2. What competencies will be needed?
   3. What does the organization need to do to be prepared?To conduct a holistic assessment of your selected organization and the challenges and opportunities it faces in addressing the noted trends, consider some of the concepts listed below as you develop your recommendations for the organization. It is not necessary to include all the concepts, but you should include 2–3 of them to do a thorough analysis. For example, leadership models and diversity management are likely to be pivotal areas for the organization. You could talk about the environment trends that were noted in the beginning of this assignment and then discuss how leadership practices and approaches in your selected organization may have to change to meet or address those trends.

1. Analyze how the following concepts apply to your organization:
   • Diversity management
   • Leadership models
   • Ethics
   • Decision-making models
   • Problem solving
   • Conflict management processes

Ensure that your paper includes the following:

• An integrated report with an introduction and summary
• A set of recommendations that will enable the organization to meet the expected challenges of 2020
• Trends in your own organization
• 3–4 credible, cited sources supporting your projections

Support your assertions using the selected scholarly resources.

Your final product will be in a Word document and be approximately 12–15 pages in length and utilize 5–7 scholarly sources in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.
