About this journal

The Journal of Teaching in Social Work  is dedicated to exploring and advancing the art and practice of successful teaching and practicum education. We seek experiential and empirical articles that focus on pedagogical strategies and innovations, curriculum development, and practicum education and supervision across all levels of social work education. In addition to full-length articles and book reviews, we also offer the following forums to encourage an ongoing dialogue on how to teach, engage and prepare the next generation of social workers:

Note invites current or recent students to submit manuscripts about their classroom experiences and social work education in general.

Case Reports invite Instructors to submit short papers that describe a specific innovative teaching strategy, technology or course design that has been implemented in the classroom.

Comment offers social work educators a forum for expressing a viewpoint or perspective on a particular issue, topic, or controversy in social work education.

Read the Instructions for Authors , including how to prepare these article types.

Peer Review Policy: All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous double anonymized peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two to three anonymous referees.
