Teaching Workload

Due to the nature of accreditation, the foundational courses in our program our set and these courses include a core assessment which is used to measure specified competencies; although, this is true, as an educator and especially as the Social Work Program Director, I review the curriculum every semester to evaluate how well we are preparing our students for professional practice. This leads to me making several minute and at times drastic changes to courses I teach and those that other social work faculty teach. For this mid-tenure review, I highlighted only the courses that I taught.
