Worksheet Introduction
This worksheet has two parts: Need for Change and Desired Outcomes. Prepare a document using each of the two headings and follow the instructions for each section. Your writing in each section should be brief and concise. You will write all of this up more in depth in your actual Capstone paper in SW676. For now, you are using this assignment to flesh out your identification of the problem, related considerations and ways of knowing when change has been achieved. Please include related references.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to your instructor to discuss before completing this exercise.
Need for Change
This section should briefly describe the need for change. In other words, what change needs to be planned for. You don’t need the specifics of the change plan yet, just the identification of what needs to change in the client system.
For example, if you have identified a lack of staff training in suicide assessment, here you will describe that the staff need to be better prepared to respond to suicidal ideation from their students. You will briefly explain that in order to achieve this change, staff will need to attend a series of trainings, which have be approved by the vide principle and principle. The trainings will have to be scheduled at a time when most teachers can attend, and the training curriculum will need to be identified. These are general steps of the need for change, that will help you begin thinking about developing the actual plan.
Need for Change
Briefly describe the need for change. Briefly describe relevant considerations, such as the following questions (only answer those that are relevant to your project):
• Who has power in this situation in terms of decision-making, finance, ability to make change, etc.? How will services to the client be paid for? Who are the community stakeholders?
• What are the individual, family, group, community, and other issues relevant to an understanding of the client system / population affected and the problem?
• What obstacles must be overcome?
• What are the client system’s / community / population served strengths and resources (include client/community assets)?
Desired Outcomes
This section should describe the focus of your work and how you will know if the change you hoped for as occurred. You should begin by clearly identifying the desired outcomes and then a way to determine if those outcomes have been achieved. Again, you don’t need to discuss interventions here, but the outcomes you and the client / the community hope for.
For example, if you are working with a depressed teenager, you will describe the desired outcome as a reduction in depressive symptoms. You will explain that change will be measured using:  the client’s self-report, social worker’s observations and the Beck Depression Inventory.
If you have identified panhandling as a problem in your community, the desired outcome may not be to reduce panhandling (that would be a lot for a student to accomplish!) but it may be to improve awareness of business owners and local policymakers about panhandling and policy approaches used in cities that have successfully and humanely addressed/remediated the problem.
Identify Desired Outcomes
This section should be 1-2 paragraphs and address the following questions:
• How will the client / client system/ population served and you know if outcomes are achieved?  • Describe anything relevant that is happening on other levels that affect the problem (if a micro problem, what is happening at the mezzo or macro level; if a macro problem, what is happening at the micro or mezzo level) that may impact the desired outcome.
