Successful Baccalaureate Social Work Programs
The social work profession continues to grow and evolve, and with that growth comes a demand for more leadership. New leaders are stepping into these roles, and existing leaders are striving to keep up with emerging needs and complexities, especially at the baccalaureate social work level . However, accessible opportunities to develop the skills to meet this leadership demand are often hard to come by.That knowledge gap is what editors Susan Mapp, PhD, MSSW, and Needha Boutté-Queen, PhD, AM, seek to fill with Successful Baccalaureate Social Work Programs: A Guide for Current and Emerging Leaders. This dynamic volume brings together the research, experiences, and leadership insight of 25 social work educators into 18 chapters that cover everything from establishing a BSW program, to budgeting, to faculty and student recruitment strategies, to navigating legal issues, and more. Leadership development is an ongoing process, and Mapp and Boutté-Queen have delivered an essential guide for current and emerging social work leaders alike.
