This assignment gives students the opportunity to pull together the ideas of leadership and supervision presented in the class and create their own beginning model or framework for leadership. This assignment will be based on class activities/exercises and integration of course content and readings. A framework is a set of ideas, concepts, principles, and values that guide our work. The framework (see graphic) includes: A personal vision statement for your future as a social worker and as a social work leader. Why and how do you intend to be a leader in social work? Assessment of your personal leadership and supervision style, skills, and abilities. Identify your leadership and supervision styles based upon the profiles completed in class or as homework. What do you hope to build on or strengthen for the future? Concepts from class and readings as well as others from the literature that will inform your practice of leadership and supervision. Define the concepts and discuss how these concepts fit with your framework. Critique concepts as applicable. How will you in leadership roles promote values, ethics, and cultural responsiveness/humility, congruent with social work practice and what leadership principles and ethics will guide this process?
