[Activity] Watch Home Makeover Social work is a diverse field, and while we might not have to work with criminal masterminds like Gru, it’s my hope that this course will give us the skills to follow up with clients of all types.

Getting to now each other Cooperative agreements and norms The look and feel of this learning environment

I find that is is helpful to share a little bit about myself with students, so that you know where I am coming from.

I want to give you all an opportunity get to know each other and for me to start to get to know everybody. I will put you all into a random breakout room with a partner (or a group of three). Each of you will interview the other person. Ask follow up questions and be prepared to introduce them to the group when we come back together. I am giving you 10 minutes. Name Family or work Hopes for future carrier Secret talent, hobby, or interesting fact

[Discussion] What are your expectations for this course?

What we want to be able to do comes to a place where we are able to meet in the middle without expectations… and that you’re happy and so am I. Cooperative Arrangement Break vs. leaving early Sharing the air Nonnegotiable Timeliness Participation High academic standards General course format Readings Lecture / discussion Lab days Presentations Papers Breakout activities Political officials presentations Open / laid back Having fun

I also wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about some of our online classroom norms. Best way to make sure everybody has opportunities to participate (draw out what they think are some good ideas of how I can facilitate this class, and the need for grace) Devices (use of a computer, not be driving) Chat and zoom functions (how to use it) Camera during class (preference is on, but understand when unable to… also discuss Zoom backgrounds)
