About the Book

This professional book offers practical materials that provide fellow academics with tools to structure and scaffold learning experiences that reflect the practice context in which social work and human services are offered. It serves as a practical resource tailored for teaching academics in social work and human services education, and it is designed to be useful for learning across other social science and education disciplines as well. The chapters describe the pedagogy informing the design of the learning activities and present and describe specific teaching activities designed to engage students with complex subject matters. Where applicable, some chapters include downloadable resources to be used and implemented by the reader in their teaching. This book is organised into discrete themes that include skills-based activities, embedding academic literacy activities into teaching, social justice learning activities, small group teaching and learning online, using case studies and vignettes for small group learning and embedding learning through games and arts-based artefacts.
