Teaching Community Organizing in a BSW Curriculum
Grodofsky, Merav Moshe; Bakun-Mazor, Hagar
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v32 n2 p174-189 2012
The article describes a community organizing course that was as dynamic as community organizing itself. By employing a combination of teaching approaches, community organizing philosophy, and pedagogical and andragogical techniques for student training, the course challenged students to discover their beliefs and the role of the community and the community organizer in promoting social change. Though focused on the community organizing course, the article offers insight into the broader potential of the teaching approach for social work educators. (Contains 1 footnote.)
