ABSTRACT
In social work practice, writing is a tool for advocacy, communication with clients, and other professionals, and accountability. In virtually all practice settings, workers at every organizational level invest significant time and effort in writing. However, the social work education literature reveals little attention to teaching BSW students to write for practice settings. This article summarizes the development of a BSW course on writing human service agency documents, decisions made and lessons learned in the process, and suggestions for creating similar courses elsewhere.
Notes
1. Recently, one section instructor used Sidell (Citation2011) rather than the course pack. She provides the document and form examples from the course pack as class handouts.
