It is considered a “w” class because it is writing-focused. During a student’s time in the social work program, there are three theories of practice courses. Each one focuses on a different level of interaction. First, this course starts with individuals, then SOWK 487 Theories of Practice II concentrates on working with groups. Finally, SOWK 488 looks at working with communities and a macro perspective. REVIEWING SYLLABUS Land Acknowledgement Heritage University occupies its home on the traditional lands of the Yakama People. These ancestral homelands are the Yakama, Palouse, Pisquouse, Wenatshapam, Klikatat, Klinquit, Kow- was-say-ee, Li-aywas, Skin-pah, Wish-ham, Shyiks, Ochechotes, Kah-milt-pa, and Se-ap-cat, who today are represented by the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation [TREATY OF 1855] and, whose relationship with this land continues to this day. Heritage University, grounded in the vision of the two Yakama women founders, respects Indigenous peoples as traditional guardians of the lands and the enduring relationship Long and in-depth, but a useful document!
