The Group-Centered BSW Curriculum for Community Practice An Essay / [electronic resource] : Lorrie Greenhouse Gardella JD, ACSW. - pp. 53-69.

The “mundane extreme environment” of racism and poverty follows us into the new millennium (McAdoo, 1986). In response, I propose a group-centered curriculum for community practice as the professional foundation for social work education. Shifting the curricular focus from individual development to social development and from a domestic perspective to an international human rights perspective, the group-centered curriculum would teach social group work, inter-group work, and inter-professional practice as methods for promoting social and economic justice.
