Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This project highlights the implementation and impact of data-informed social work curriculum with school-linked practicums. Through creating a curriculum that connected public data dashboards to students practicum placements, social work students critically evaluated publicly available data. This curriculum exemplified the required generalist social work competency of understanding the relationship between practice-informed research and research-informed practice. This project synthesizes the curriculum and student reflections from pre and post surveys, as well as a reflective memo assignment completed after the class.
