A presentation at Heritage University in February 2025 by Jacob Campbell and is tagged with Heritage University, MSW Program, SOWK 587

A flowchart with a green square labeled 'Yes' and a red octagon labeled 'No' guides decision-making. Text reads: 'Using an Ethical Principle Screen and Decision Making, Spring 2025, Week 06 of SOWK 587, Jacob Campbell, Ph.D. LICSW at Heritage University.'

Title slide displays 'Week Six' agenda and learning objectives for a presentation. Agenda includes planning, ethical screens, decision-making steps, and a case example. Objectives focus on understanding EPS and case study analysis.

The image is a slide from a presentation titled 'Activities for Week Six.' It includes tasks such as reading chapters on 'School Social Work' and 'Group Counseling LGBTQI Persons,' and making forum replies. Additional tasks involve small group posts and submitting a video presentation on ethical decision-making. The slide is by Jacob Campbell, Ph.D., at Heritage University.

An inverted gradient triangle labeled 'Ethical Principles Screen' lists ethical principles like Protection of Life, Social Justice, and Privacy on a black background. Additional text mentions Jacob Campbell and Spring 2025 SOWK 587.

The image features a diagram labeled 'Ethical Principles Screen,' with text explaining that higher-order principles take precedence over lower-order principles in dilemmas. A triangle advises considering impartiality, generalization, and justifiability before action.

Description

Week six is asynchronous. The week is centered around the topic of ethics. It is explored in Jarolmen and Bautista-Thomas (2023) as they describe ethical dilemmas that school social workers should consider. Students will also review practice in the context of schools and how it intersects with LGBTQI persons and groups. The forums provide space to reflect on the week’s content, FERPA, and confidentiality. This week’s lecture video shares information about using an ethical principle screen and decision-making and relates it to a case example. Furthermore, students submit their ethical decision-making video presentation to demonstrate their ability to apply ethical decision-making to practice and consider scientific-based practices to support students.

The agenda for the lecture video includes:

Plan for the week
Ethical principle screen
Steps in decision making
Case example

Learning Objectives for the week include

Define and describe the Ethical Principle Screen (EPS) and its hierarchical ranking of ethical principles.
Examine a case study using steps in decision making
Analyze the intersection of ethics, confidentiality, and FERPA
Critically reflect on personal values and biases
Demonstrate knowledge of how to support the outcomes for all students through strategies such as scientifically-based practices, collaborative teaming, and ethical decision making (Competency E for ESA Course)
