Abstract
The first course in group work was taught in 1923 and was followed by a growing recognition in social work education of the importance of preparing students to work with groups. Unfortunately by the end of the 1970s group work located within a generalist curriculum had all but disappeared. This article presents a single course elective that prepares students to work with groups. The course design utilizes an unconventional time schedule, experiential learning and a three-part focus on mutual aid, tackling fear, and planning. The article includes a summary of weekly and daily course activities.
