The final deliverable will be the completed table of policy below and at least a 300-word critical analysis summary (you will copy/paste the table to a new Word document). The summary should be double spaced and presented in a MS Word document format. Please use proper APA Standards formatting and referencing and use Times New Roman size 12 font
Step 1: Prior to starting this assignment, please read the Standards for Technology in Social Work Practice guidelines and supplemental resources located above.
Step 2 Identify and Evaluate Agency Policy and Procedures: Locate your field placement or place of employment’s policy and procedure manual, client confidentiality forms, consent to treatment document, intake form, psychosocial history form, and any other relevant documents. If you are not at an agency, please contact your instructor for a different option.
Match your agency’s policies to the Standards for Technology in Social Work Practice guidelines.
Copy and paste the passage addressing each standard in the table below.
Evaluate each of these policy statements using the Standards for Technology in Social Work Practice guidelines. Evaluation consists of reviewing the interpretation of the standards created by NASW, ASWB, CSWE, and CSWA. Determine if the agency does not have a current policy, if the policy addresses only some of the standard’s definition, or if the policy meets the standards. Please follow the format found in the example below. Be especially aware of how your agency policies address the adaptation of technologies depending on ethnicity, income level, ability, gender, etc.
Step 3: When the agency does not have a policy or if the policy only meets some of the technology standards interpretation, craft a new policy fully addressing the standard.
Step 4 Critical Analysis Summary: Finish the assignment with a critical analysis summarizing the status of how your agency integrates the Standards for Technology in Social Work Practice and three recommendations for improvement which include academic references of evidence-based reasons these recommendations need to be integrated. (Include at least one different reference for each recommendation.)

“Exploring My Intersecting Identities: A Reflection on How They Shape My Life and Relationships”
Each of us has multiple intersecting identities. Think about your many identities, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, religion/spirituality, nationality, immigration status, and socioeconomic status and how they have impacted your development and relationship with society. Do not just report on your identities; rather reflect on how your identities influence how you see yourself and how you relate to others (i.e., family, friends, community) and the world. Consider how identities intersect to inform your experience. Provide examples of these experiences. Here are some questions to consider, though you don’t need to answer them all: ● How did you “learn” about your identities? What messages were you “taught” and by whom? What is the impact of these messages on how you behave and see yourself or others? What messages do you “teach” to others about these identities? ● When have these identities been a factor in making a big decision in your life? What roles did they play? What did you have to consider? ● In what ways do aspects of your identities intersect? How is this helpful or challenging? ● How do the concepts of power and privilege relate to each of your identities? In what ways do you hold power/privilege (or not)? How do your identities impact your interactions with others and the world? ● In what ways might your identities impact you as a social worker? In what ways may these identities be a challenge or an asset? ● What communities or groups do your identities give you access with or opportunities? In what ways do they inhibit access/opportunities? ● What aspects of your identity are most salient/present to you daily? Why is this? What aspects of your identity seem present to others around you? How do you notice this? How has this changed over your lifetime? ● Similarly, what aspects of your identity are least salient/present to you daily? Why is this? What aspects of your identity seem least present to others around you? How do you notice this? How has this changed over your lifetime?

“Creating an Effective Discharge Plan: A Social Worker’s Role in Facilitating Transitions and Endings in a Medical Setting” Purpose of the Discharge Plan: The purpose of the discharge plan is to provide a structured and comprehensive guide for patients and
A key role a social work role in a medical setting is to critically analyze, monitor, and evaluate intervention and program processes and outcomes. Social workers are knowledgeable about evidence-informed interventions to achieve the goals of clients and constituencies, including individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Upon graduation, you have obtained a job with a local VA hospital. You will work in the surgical unit as a hospital social worker who assesses patients’ needs and creates their discharge plans. After the first few weeks, you notice that most of your patients tend to discharge home with home health care services. The patients, and their families, often ask the same questions about additional community resources and financial assistance. To increase efficiency, you decide to create a discharge plan template that can be used for patients who discharge home with home health services. You have also decided to include local resources that may benefit patients and their families recognizing the implications of the larger practice context in the assessment process and value the importance of inter-professional collaboration in this process. For this assignment, include a brief statement that explains the purpose of the discharge plan. Demonstrate how you would utilize the discharge plan to negotiate, mediate, and advocate with and on behalf of diverse clients and constituencies and facilitate effective transitions and endings that advance mutually agreed-on goals. Utilize resources that are local to where you live. Include at least five general health-related resources and five financial resources.

Title: Reflection on “Little America”: Connecting Social Work Concepts to a Nigerian Immigrant’s Story
Objective: This assignment counts towards your grade. It is important for us to be able to identify concepts that we learn in our course, in real life. As we learn about social work we learn to see the world through a social work perspective, particularly through micro, mezzo and macro lenses.
This short film is powerful because it portrays the view of someone seeing the US for the first time from their perspective. Little America describes the story of a Nigerian immigrant, who finds a connection with the Cowboy culture in Oklahoma. 1. Watch Short Film: Click play icon in box below to view film
Runs for about 32 min
2. Reflect
Reflect on all the social work concepts, theories and values you have learned up until now. Through our professional training, social workers make a commitment to empower individuals and at the same time improve society while paying special attention between interactions amongst individuals and their surroundings (recall the person-in-environmentapproach). Use introspection to reflect on the type of social work you would like to practice or eventually specialize in: micro, mezzo and/or macro:
Micro practice refers mostly to helping individuals fit better into their environments. Macro practice refers to modifying the environment so that it works better for individuals. In other words, social workers make a commitment through professional training to help people and to improve society, and to give special attention to the interactions between people and between people and their surroundings.
Mezzo Practice refers to work with families and small groups perhaps in a community setting. Many times mezzo practices is not specifically highlighted since it is sometimes subsumed under micro practice. 1. Analyze and Connect
Answer the following by making connections from the film (minimum 500 words for full credit). (total 100 points)
Choose a practice level that interests you: micro, mezzo or macro, define it (in your own words) make sure you bold the practice type you choose. (20 points) Apply: Use Iwegbuna as a case study. How would you use the practice type you chose (above) to support your client? This is a critical question: Make sure you identify the What (micro, mezzo, macro – what support are you offering and at what level) and the how (how are you implementing this support)…(30 points)
Theory: Choose a theory from Module 2 (Strengths perspective, Empowerment, Person-In-Environment Approach, etc…) define theory (bold theory of choice) and define it. (20 points)
Overall flow and structure of reflection. For example, how you connect your professional, educational experience (what you have learned in class) with Iwegbuna’s life story, observation skills, congruence. (10 points) – don’t worry too much about grammar this is not an English class 😉
Overall thoughts about the movie (any recommendations for other documentaries pertaining to social work)? (10 points)
