Social workers are often on the receiving end of policy analysis.

It is vital to your success in this class to have a deeper and more nuanced understanding of how policy is developed and to this end you will spend the bulk of your assignment time developing a succinct but thoughtful policy analysis.

You will develop a 7-10 page Policy Statement for presentation at the National Association of Social Workers Delegate Assembly.

This policy statement will describe a current problem that the social work profession should address through its policy advocacy. T

This policy statement will consist of five sections: Problem Overview, Historical Analysis, Social, Economic & Political Analysis, Policy Recommendations, and a Rebuttal for Opponents.
