work courses are primarily being delivered in person and is often the preferred method for students. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students who self-selected an in-person education experience, are now receiving remote instruction. While research has shown that remote learning can be as effective as in-person learning, there is limited knowledge on how effective online learning is when it is forced on students. In this quantitative study we explored the experiences of 132 Social Work Master\u2019s students with the transition to remote instructions and its effect on their personal and educational experiences. Results show that students&#8217; attitudes towards remote learning has changed and was associated with their reported emotional state. In addition, <\/em><\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remote learning enhanced home-work balance. In terms of the participants&#8217; learning experience; they have participated less, and reported feeling less connected to their peers. Finally, while participants reported that they liked the use of breakout rooms, there was no statistically significant connection between experience with breakout rooms and satisfaction with remote learning.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Kathleen Ray, Ramapo College of New Jersey, USA<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Liat Shklarski Ramapo College of New Jersey, USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;The Abrupt Transition to Distance Social Work Teaching during the COVID-19 Pandemic&#8221; &#8211; <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence of the impact of COVID-19 on higher education, specifically on social work education, is gradually emerging. While the empirical literature points to the effectiveness of delivering course content virtually as a method of teaching social work, research on the effects of the abrupt, forced transition from in-person to distance teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic is limited. This quantitative study presents findings from a survey of social work instructors about their experiences during the abrupt transition from in-person to distance teaching in the first few weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Findings reveal that the abrupt transition to distance teaching was perceived as stressful and required technological, emotional support, and workload adaptations from their institutions. The participants also reported that their work\u2013life balance and attitudes towards distance teaching were positively affected by the change. Findings from this study suggest the need for comprehensive institutional support to improve distance teaching methods to prepare social work students to face the social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and demonstrate that social work instructors see the benefit of distance teaching and may be more interested in continuing with it in the future.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The participants lacked adequate training on the use of technology and careful course planning, which are essential tools to support faculty in improving the virtual classroom. The results highlight the instructors\u2019 need to adapt to distance teaching to engage students and improve their learning experiences. Finally, although distance teaching was not the preferred method, it offered a way of improving instructors\u2019 work\u2013life balance, and the participants became more receptive to the idea of teaching distance classes in the future.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As COVID-19 will continue to impact how social work education is delivered, it presents an opportunity to improve the virtual delivery of educational content to meet the needs of students who cannot engage in traditional in-person learning. Since COVID-19 has already impacted the delivery of social services, leading to some services being delivered virtually, making further investments in distance social work teaching will not only improve social work education but prepare students to work in a career that is becoming increasingly reliant on the provision of virtual services as well.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Kathleen Ray, Ramapo College of New Jersey, USA<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Liat Shklarski Ramapo College of New Jersey, USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The transition to remote learning in schools of social work in Israel; a comparison between students and instructors&#8221; &#8211; <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence of the impact of COVID-19 on higher education, specifically on social work education, is gradually emerging. While the empirical literature points to the effectiveness of delivering course content virtually as a method of teaching social work, research on the effects of the abrupt, forced transition from in-person to distance teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic is limited. This quantitative study presents findings from a survey of 144 social work instructors and 150 social work students about their experiences during the abrupt transition from in-person to distance teaching in the first few weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings show that teaching and learning non-clinical classes remotely (for example research classes) were reported to be as effective as in person.

Last spring, with travel restrictions suddenly imposed on countries due to COVID-19, faculty and their host country partners had to either cancel those experiences or approach the outcomes with flexibility and creativity. This presentation will share one such program that quickly transitioned from an MSW study abroad course in Lisbon, Portugal learning about drug decriminalization and Portugal\u2019s national drug plan to an online course.

Monitoring and development of field education supervision is essential in assuring quality and satisfaction. Most recently, the COVID-19 global pandemic caused many social work students and field instructors to quickly shift practicum placements from in-person to remote learning; within the process, supervision shifted as well. This study obtained feedback from a small group of BSW students, MSW students, and field instructors regarding this transition of placement and supervision. The study\u2019s framework asked about modalities of supervision used, as well as perception of quality of supervision, both before and after the adjustments resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Supervision approaches that were reportedly used were developmental, didactic, strengths-based, and trauma-focused. Research findings will be used to enhance BSW and MSW field education within this specific Midwestern University, but could provide considerations for development of field education programs in other social work educational programs. Further, the reality of the digital world will not end after COVID-19, thus considerations will help propel programs as we continue forward within our new normal.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Melissa Ketner, Assistant Professor of Social Work, University of Indianapolis, USA<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Christie Jansing: Assistant Professor of Social Work, University of Indianapolis USA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Dianna Cooper Bolinskey: Associate Professor, Carver School of Social Work, Campbellsville University, USA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Lynn Shaw: Associate Professor of Social Work, University of Indianapolis, USA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8220;P-12 Social Work Practice and the Pandemics Paradox: Barriers to Educational Equity and Social Emotional Wellness&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Covid-19 Pandemic, the Black Lives Matter Protests, the Insurrection at the Capitol and the competing inequities of race, health, gender, sex, technology, health, and food have challenged our education landscape, and severely impacted students and their families in many ways. Supervisors and field instructors find it difficult to navigate and perform their jobs effectively due to a variety of barriers and social constructs put in place. P-12 Social Work practitioners are in a paradox of field support for students, staff, and families while having to tend to their own well-being in the school and community context. Additionally, Black and Brown families distrust the educational system based on historical and systemic racism and implicit biases, resulting in a trust gap that schools and staff have the ability to meet their essential and unique needs &#8211; an area where our national and local leaders continues to fail. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This workshop brings together two P-12 Social Worker practitioners, their central office supervisor and a senior leader to share how they navigated and continue to experience this fully precedent time in our educational system\u2019s and nation&#8217;s history. We will discuss the barriers to success, which include discussion on how the policies and procedures established in the educational system often benefit those in the majority (White students) but do not always afford the same opportunities for minorities; how Brown and Black families often mistrust White supervisors and field instructors and generally do not trust White people in general; how field instructors and supervisors of color often feel like they do not have a viable seat at the decision-making table; and how students of color do not see enough teachers who resemble their backgrounds and culture. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To provide context for the P-12 Social Worker paradox, we will share how we addressed the competing inequities of COVID-19 and its impacts on students and families lack of access to the internet and technological devices widens the educational achievement gap; the lack of supervision if parents work outside the home; the lack of resources for food, rent and utilities which remain limited due to COVID-19 related financial issues; the high death rate impacting students in Black and Brown communities psychologically; the transportation related issues; and the high stress in home environments leading to depression and suicidal attempts. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This pandemics paradox of COVID-19, Black Lives Matter and the Insurrection on the Capitol that P-12 Social Workers face requires calls to action to develop awareness and ways to dismantle and overcome the barriers that affect learning and retention. We will provide ways to develop tools and collect resources to help students and families stay engaged in the learning process; and name specific reform and restructures in programs &#8211; which promote that implicit biases reflected in existing language, guidelines, and behaviors &#8211; move beyond performance to action and transformational change.

In group practice courses, one may assume that the most preferred setting for the learning environment would be in a face-to-face classroom. As a result of COVID-19, creative and innovative strategies are required to maintain the quality of the learning environment while ensuring that students remain engaged in competencies required by CSWE. This presentation will review methods to review and alter course syllabi for a BSW mezzo course and the included assignments to adapt to an online environment. While original course assignments could not be maintained due to restrictions of social distancing, many could be utilized or adapted. Using Zoom breakout rooms (or other similar technology) regularly during synchronous class meetings, the value of small group work can be maintained or even enhanced. Students and faculty also engaged in use of new technological tools and resources to support course learning. This course uses online group shadowing, partner presentations, development of group session proposals, and group session facilitation as various means of assignments. Further, data covering end-of-course feedback (in addition to course evaluations), assists in supporting instructor feedback about the course experience. Survey data will be shared during the presentation.

Pivoting, from a traditional face-to-face, to a synchronous online model for curriculum delivery revealed the need to reimagine teaching strategies and curriculum delivery methods. Of key importance were strategies that promoted, and sustained, student engagement in a highly interactive, participative, and dynamic course. Through an intentional process, faculty developed an innovative strategy, grounded in Choice Theory (Glasser, 1998), aimed to impact students\u2019 connection to content, as well as promote persistence in the mastery of competencies (Ryan &amp; Deci, 2016; CSWE, 2015). As a result, an active learning technique, titled \u201cChoose Your Own Learning Adventure,\u201d was designed to deliver content, as well as provide opportunities for students to actualize and demonstrate newly acquired knowledge through a variety of learning modalities. Providing course instruction through a module-based, synchronous online delivery method allowed the \u201cChoose Your Own Learning Adventure\u201d technique to be embedded within each module. This provided immediate opportunities for students to engage with content and demonstrate skills, in turn providing a higher likelihood for deeper learning outcomes and higher level of thinking (Nilsson, 2010). This workshop will explore the design and implementation of this innovative learning strategy in a graduate level, direct practice course. Additionally, we will share students\u2019 shared experiences to this learning approach, discuss lessons learned for future teaching delivery in direct practice courses.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Dr. Tiffany Wigington, Associate Professor of Social Work, Tarleton State University, USA<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Misty Smith, Assistant Professor of Social Work, Tarleton State University, USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Engaging Students via Interactive Video Quizzes&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>In March of 2020, institutional settings were challenged to transform in-person courses to online platforms with robust instructional designs that encouraged student engagement via active learning. Many students struggled to adjust to remote learning, as they were forced to leave on-campus housing, some without books or computers, and return to their home settings due to safety concerns because of the COVID-19 pandemic. One concern faced by instructors was how to keep the attention span of students in online courses as they were experiencing the sickness and passing of friends and loved ones, the challenge of caregivers being essential workers and going out to work each day, sharing technological resources with siblings, and much more. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>An engagement strategy implemented by instructors has been the use of innovative technology such as the use of EdPuzzle to engage students in interactive learning. EdPuzzle requires that students listen to recorded lectures and\/or videos on its platform and provides instructors the opportunity to embed materials into the videos. Multiple-choice, true\/false, open-ended questions as well as instructor notes can be inserted in the video lessons to keep students engaged.

This presentation summarizes main challenges for social work interns due to abrupt changes (e.g., such as remote working). And this presentation also shares approaches developed &amp; tested effective in the field to support social work interns through the pandemic (e.g., new ways of training and supervision). To illustrate the specifics, this presentation uses cohort of social work interns from fall 2019 as an example to go through their end to end journey from onboarding to termination. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At the onboarding phase, social work interns face new challenges to get familiar with clinical practice process and tools. Instead of traditional approach of face to face sessions with new clients, they need to quickly pivot to conduct intake interviews via phone and video interviews. We develop new protocols for client intakes to ensure privacy and confidentiality for clients while also promoting trust building in the new format. Instead of observing supervisors utilizing electrical charting system, interns need to learn from online trainings, which requires additional handholding. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>During the continuous supervision, trainings on various platforms (e.g., telehealth, online interactive play therapy) can be developed and deployed on the agency level while supervisors could leverage more frequent one-on-one check-ins (e.g., daily basis) to provide necessary trainings. Supervisors also adapt to new approaches to provide clinical supervision through remote learning. Specifically, supervisors could develop a playbook to share best practices on how to conduct phone and video sessions with clients, how to run video groups, and etc. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Supervisor also need to support interns during the pandemic and ensure their learning experience at the field placement. Supervisors could choose to run weekly agency interns support group, adjust case load based on capacity and adaptivity of interns, create more opportunities for interns to reach out to partner agencies and community organizations, and put an emphasis on advocating social justice for underserved clients populations. With the prevalence of mental health challenge and burnout during the pandemic, supervisor also need to be more sensitive with interns\u2019 personal experiences and needs during the pandemic and provide support and assistance as needed. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Finally at termination of internship, for interns who developed relationship with their clients in person but need to terminate the relationship remotely (e.g., cohort of 2019 intern), supervisors need to develop new approaches to support interns and their clients for a smooth termination with the agency.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Qiuyuan Liu, The Child Center of NY, USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Student Voices on Social Work Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of life throughout the globe.

Alvernia University BSW students participate in three major projects during their senior year, including interdisciplinary simulations, peer mentoring, and community conference planning. Each of these projects is framed as student-centered and employs face-to-face pedagogy. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The learning components were adapted to allow for interactive, online pedagogy. The interdisciplinary collaboration occurred via Zoom in the form of a discharge planning team meeting comprised of social work, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy students. The Social Work Internship Mentoring (SWIM) peer-mentoring program was adapted from a half-day presentation to a podcast series recorded and disseminated to BSW juniors through an online platform. Finally, the student-organized community social work conference was adapted from a one-day in-person event to a virtual half-day event.

This new, required course, Field Skills Seminar, was created by the field faculty, in consultation with Marion Bogo and colleagues from schools of social work and nursing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Over five, 2.5-hour classes, students simulated interviews with clients whose lives depicted problems of loss, mental illness, aging, depression, immigration, gender and ethnic marginalization, and health\/illness. Students were assigned interviewer, client, or observer roles and wrote reflections after simulating each. Learning through simulation theory was taught through lectures, media, and PowerPoints, based upon Marion Bogo\u2019s &#8220;Social Work Practice&#8221;, 2nd edition, 2018, and readings from clinical social work journals. Students practiced engagement and assessment skills using brief, scripted micro and macro simulations involving individuals, families, and groups. Giving and receiving feedback, supportively and critically, in service of acquiring interviewing skills, was a guiding ethic. Students took risks, acknowledged sweaty palms, reported \u201cthe shakes,\u201d and shared fears of appearing unskilled or unintelligent while role playing their respective characters. Their concerns were openly explored and appropriately normalized, and students gained traction as they practiced, and practiced, and practiced. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Faculty were active and supportive, demonstrating interviewing techniques themselves, collegially redirecting students when needed, and underscoring the need for all practitioners, themselves included, to establish trusting and respectful relationships with clients as preconditions to providing interventions later. The cognitive and affective processes of Bogo\u2019s \u201cHolistic Competence\u201d conceptual framework were identified and present in each class. Through simulations, students experienced themselves as people, with a collection of their own life experiences and impressions, as well as themselves as social work students and future professional social workers, who are bound to practice effectively and ethically. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We had intended to teach this course in-person and hope to when health conditions permit. However, and why our roundtable is being proposed for a gathering on Global Education, we did, indeed, reach into students\u2019 homes, often across states, and joined with them, as they endured the global pandemic that had also interrupted their plans. Student evaluations were overwhelmingly positive: \u201cEven though I experienced some performance anxiety when engaging in roleplay activities, these were extremely valuable and I felt more confident and comfortable in my actual engagements with clients in field after my roleplay in the social worker role in this class.

Tato la investigaci\u00f3n como la proyecci\u00f3n se articulan en el ejercicio docente, se retoma lo que sucede en estos contextos y se pone a circular esos saberes en el proceso formativo dentro de las aulas de clase. En ese sentido, record\u00e9 la experiencia de Nari\u00f1o con asociaciones de mujeres campesinas , en este proceso, entend\u00ed que uno de los grandes debates al cual un trabajador social se enfrenta son la configuraci\u00f3n de dilemas \u00e9ticos, estos espacios de discusi\u00f3n frente a las decisiones que se construyen en la intervenci\u00f3n social, no s\u00f3lo tendr\u00e1 impacto en la vida de otros, tiene por su puesto un dilema afecta la construcci\u00f3n de identidad del trabajador social. El dilema es un \u201cargumento formado de dos proposiciones contrarias disyuntivamente, con tal artificio que, negada o concedida cualquiera de las dos, queda demostrado lo que se intenta probar\u201d (RAE 2011); todos los dilemas implican tres factores fundamentales: a) duda, b) reflexi\u00f3n, c) no lugares . El dilema es un ejercicio reflexivo enfocado en la escritura cr\u00edtica y pol\u00edtica que se construye con el estudiante de trabajo social, es un espacio para hablar con voz propia con relaci\u00f3n a lo que le indigna, es decir las injusticias sociales inclusive las propias que viven. El dilema se compone como un proceso de tr\u00e1nsito por los contenidos bajo esas caracter\u00edsticas, por una parte, la duda permite que el estudiante comente sus dudas con relaci\u00f3n a la identidad profesional, esto le permite considerar su subjetividad pol\u00edtica, el acto de dudar con relaci\u00f3n a lo que \u201chace\u201d un trabajador social o darle una discusi\u00f3n sobre cu\u00e1l es su identidad profesional relacionado con la intervenci\u00f3n social-investigaci\u00f3n social.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Luz Stella Chamorro, Universidad Caldas, Colombia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Lessons from an Elementary School- Creating Community in MSW Classrooms&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The switch to online teaching happened in an instant for schools across the country and educators were forced to reimagine the delivery of academic content. However, it was quickly evident that what students needed were opportunities to create and sustain feelings of community and camaraderie. Supported by teachings from NYU\u2019s Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools, Dr. Bettina Love and Dr. Gholdy Mohammad, I propose that creating community in online settings is as important if not more important than the delivery of content. During this workshop, participants will have the chance to reflect on their own practices, learn and define what it means to them to be part of a community and come up with a plan of actionable steps to take to increase community in their classrooms. <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gabriella McBride, New York University, USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Inter-professional Simulation: Virtual Practice Opportunities for Students Impacted by COVID-19&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>COVID-19 has significantly disrupted field education and its signature in-vivo experience in agencies and relationship-building with clients, colleagues, and field instructors typically enjoyed by students (Bogo, 2015). The pandemic has also impacted the number, variety, and quality of available field placements, particularly in urban areas with multiple schools of social work. To address these challenges, our School implemented an online Field Seminar, a contingency plan for unplaced and displaced students to keep them on track with learning, field hours, and credits. Students were assigned to cohorts led by field instructors with deep agency practice knowledge. Upon completing modules containing virtual simulations, role plays, videos, webinars, and readings, with reflective questions and agency spotlights embedded within them, students meet with their School-based Field Instructor for weekly group supervision and reflective discussion. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The contingency plan has been well-received by students and new methods of learning in the field curriculum area are being explored. However, students continue to crave opportunities to practice with clients, to be observed, and to receive feedback. To meet this need, students in the Field Seminar were invited to participate in a virtual inter-professional simulation exercise in collaboration with nursing and pharmacy students. The simulation is based on an end-of-life scenario and is conducted entirely through Zoom. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To accommodate public health measures during the pandemic, social work students participate virtually on an inter-professional team addressing the medical and psychosocial needs of the family of a patient who has been severely injured in a motorcycle accident. Students interact with the parents of the adult patient, collaborate with their inter-professional peers, and create a treatment plan for the case. Students are observed by faculty from each discipline and are provided feedback using the Debriefing with Good Judgement model (Rudolph et al., 2006). Unlike nursing students, social work students rarely have the opportunity to be observed in practice and to receive feedback from faculty (Kourgiantakis et al., 2019). Social work students typically don\u2019t have the opportunity to collaborate with other professions in a medical setting and to deepen their understanding of the nuanced approaches of different disciplines until they are employed (Kelly et al., 2020). <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Virtual simulation is a creative way to foster learning, while expanding field-related interactions and pedagogy. Through the use of technology, virtual simulations can provide students (outside of the field practicum) the opportunity to interact with standardized clients, and other disciplines, while receiving constructive feedback on their practice skills. Technology can increase student access, and provide flexibility to accommodate a greater number of learners at varying times during the day. By participating in the simulation exercise with nursing and pharmacy colleagues, social work students were able to practice the Inter-professional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies of collaboration, roles and responsibilities, communication, and teamwork (IPEC, 2016). This unique opportunity is a viable resource and was embraced by students in our contingency Field Seminar awaiting placement with an agency setting.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anne Dempsey, DSW, LCSW, Clinical Assistant Professor of Social Work, New York University<\/li>\n<li>Nicholas Lanzieri, PhD, LCSW, Clinical Associate Professor of Social Work, New York University<\/li>\n<li>Virgen Luce, MSW, LCSW, Clinical Associate Professor of Social Work, Assistant Dean of Field Learning &amp; Community Partnerships, New York University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Social Workers 2021, Meeting clients where they are: Literally and Figuratively&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>This session will prepare social workers with critical knowledge, values, and practice to better serve clients on the ground and in virtual social work settings.\u00a0<\/em><em>Due to COVID restrictions, social work practitioners instantaneously changed their approach to supplying direct services to consumers.\u00a0<\/em><em>Whether incorporating infection prevention in-person practices or transitioning to a virtual platform, social workers\u2019 engagement practices shifted to meet this need.\u00a0<\/em><em>Since most consumers do not have the choice to restructure how they receive their social service needs in the pandemic, it is up to social workers to incorporate engagement techniques that meet clients where clients are.\u00a0<\/em><em>With the rise in virtual clinical engagement practices, we will review the revised NASW Code of Ethics on technology, highlighting ethical and cultural considerations.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mary Beth Ali, Rutgers University, USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Teaching Through Traumatic Times: Educating MSW Students During a Global Pandemic&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>COVID-19 presented even the most seasoned instructors with unique, unprecedented, and complex challenges.
