In week 15, we are shifting our focus from treatment to task groups. The readings this week focus on interdisciplinary group work. Bronstein (2003) helps us look into interdisciplinary teamwork and the skills and processes necessary to implement it successfully. Nancarrow et al. (2013) look at the productive aspects of a team. During class, we will do an activity about organizing our priorities and ethics, and a lecture on the learning content for the week.

The agenda includes:

• Prioritizing your values activity
• Conceptual Framework for CBPR groups
• Ethical Dilemmas in Macro Social Work Practice
• Working in teams and multidisciplinary settings
• Energizer activity

The learning objectives for this week include:

• Be able to explain what a Community-Based Participatory Research Partnership is and some of the criteria for how we would measure the effectiveness
• Demonstrate and discuss ethical responses in a community practice setting
• Describe what makes for effective interdisciplinary team processes
