with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities, as well as knowledge and skills in the areas of social welfare policy, social justice, and evaluation of practice and programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The values of this curriculum align with the goals of the 51ÁÔÆæ Social Work Department to prepare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Highly skilled, advanced practitioners to work in a variety of ecological levels, including with individuals, families, groups, organizations, communities and governments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ethical practitioners guided by the principles and values of the social work profession, including dignity and worth of the person, and importance of human relationships<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Culturally competent social workers who promote and advocate for social justice and human rights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social workers who engage in critical thinking and actively apply research evidence to practice, policy, advocacy, education and

additionally become prepared to develop specialized practice skills through various elective pathways, field placement training and certificate and certification programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social
