Decision Cases for Advanced Social Work Practice: Confronting Complexity

These fifteen cases take place in child welfare, mental health, hospital, hospice, domestic violence, refugee resettlement, veterans' administration, and school settings and reflect individual, family, group, and supervised social work practice. They confront common ethical and treatment issues and raise issues regarding practice interventions, programs, policies, and laws. Cases represent open-ended situations, encouraging students to apply knowledge from across the social work curriculum to develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.

Next Steps: Decision Cases for Social Work Practice

Social work students consistently struggle to apply theory to practice, or use the knowledge of textbooks and classrooms in the field. Vignettes and scenarios represented in textbooks are often simplistic, too tidy to be realistic, and with clean resolutions. Next Steps: Decision Cases for Social Work Practice highlights the complex, messy nature of social work practice in a way that is engaging to students, allowing them to step into the role of a practicing social worker. This book is a collection of decision cases from multiple areas of social work practice, designed to enhance the quality and depth of classroom case discussion and analysis. These realistic, compelling cases present dilemmas about which even experienced practitioners may disagree. This allows rich classroom discussion that enhances critical thinking, provides real-life application, and creates numerous opportunities to apply content and knowledge acquired throughout a social work education experience.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the current research relating to the teaching of library and information literacy skills as part of effective school library media center programming.
As with earlier editions, this latest revision of Information Literacy and Information Skills Instruction: Applying Research to Practice in the 21st Century School Library brings together the research literature on information skills instruction with particular reference to models related to information seeking and the information search process. It presents relevant findings on what research has deemed "best practice" and what is known about how children learn, enabling school librarians to base information skills programs on substantiated data.
The sources reviewed for this book include doctoral dissertations, research reports, academic and professional journal articles in library information service and related fields, and publications by scholars and practitioners relevant to information skills curricula. A preface, newly prepared for the third edition, explains the revision process, while the epilogue examines the importance of communication between research scholars and school library practitioners.

Registered for Life with Jesus Christ is a powerful true memoir of a mother's tragedy, police civil rights misconduct cover up, and a guide to serving time God's way. Undoubtedly, prison was the most intense period of spiritual warfare that Lori Franklin ever encountered. During her fourteen and half years at the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women in Pewee Valley, Kentucky, formerly nicknamed the Valley of the Dolls but prophetically it was more of the Valley of the Dry Bones as described in Ezekiel 37, full of spiritually dead women in need of leadership. During Lori's stay, she rose to her call of spiritual warfare leader and jailhouse lawyer to defend the constitutional civil rights of other inmates as the prison's grievance clerk and an active member of Women in Mission Bible study group. Lori allowed God to use her within the prison walls as a missionary, all while battling her post-traumatic stress disorder from the tragic death of her child and by being left to suffer in solitary confinement in a cold windowless jail cell for over three hundred days straight without exercise, awaiting her trial at the Jefferson County Jail in Louisville, Kentucky in violation of her eighth amendment constitutional rights. Lori put together the ordeals that God lead her through to guide inmates that are currently incarcerated and families that are left behind, while under a shelter-in-place order due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. While writing her last chapter, she could hear the Black lives Matter protesters march down her street, shouting "No justice, no peace," bringing attention to the police misconduct in Louisville, Kentucky, all the while crying that the statute of limitation is up in her case, and she will be registered for Life.
