Free Downloads Policy Practice For Social Workers: New Strategies For A New Era (Updated Edition) (Connecting Core Competencies)
Introduction to Policy Practice shows future social work practitioners how to actively influence policy-making through lobbying, coalition building and running campaigns. It helps them to master social problem analysis and policy analysis and uses theoretical and empirical knowledge for the application of policy practice techniques. Each chapter reflects and integrates the core competencies in the 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). End-of-chapter assessment reinforces this integration, and MySocialWorkLab.com activities support the mastery of CSWE's core competencies.

I bought this book for my SW Policy class, for which I need access to Pearson's [...]. This edition of the book, although listed as part of the MySocialWorkLab series, does not include access to the site. Access to the site would be an extra $25. However, the book is available under a different ISBN code with access at no additional charge.
This is a great book to teach strategy for implementing new policies and for changing existing policy. Often students and grass root groups know what changes they want to see but have no knowledge on how to make it happen. Policy change is complicated and it takes precise steps to maneuver to a positive outcome. I especially enjoyed the "real life case examples" and the sections on critical thinking, ethical practices and coalition building.
The book assistas with getting your head around policy practice and how social workers are able to influence or shape practice.It highlights social workers rolese as policy advocates and responsibility in shaping policy to promote social justice
