Why Macro Social Work

Why Macro Social Work

This is a class exercise I use the first day of a macro or community social work class to help students visualize the macro-system that influences the lives of potential clients. The exercise is a case-study discussion where students develop explanations for behaviors and interventions. These explanations and interventions then change as they see an image that provides additional detail about the case.

I have used this exercise every semester and it has helped several students to have that "aha" moment and to realize the need to see the bigger picture.
