PROGRAM APPLICATION CRITERIAContinuing Education Committee

Oregon Chapter, NASW

OVERVIEW

The NASW Continuing Education Program certifies workshops, conferences or seminars thatcontribute substantially to social work knowledge in all areas of practice (mental health, health,child/family services, administration, etc.). Since inception, the goal of the program has been toencourage the continuing education of all social workers throughout the State (and beyond) and to establish a professional standard of excellence in those continuing education offerings.

To maximize consistency in quality among those granted CE credit, all proposals must center upon a didactic presentation, although portions may be allocated to group response, discussion, breakout sessions, etc.

Applications are expected to include subject matter, content outline, goals of the presentation,credentials of presenters and timetables.

Ongoing seminars, workshops, staff development series, etc. may be included for CE credit if the sponsors submit the aforementioned information and criteria.

Applicability of NASW CE credits by conference attendees for Oregon social work licensure use can and should only be determined by the State Board of Clinical Social Work. Continuing education must relate to the licensee’s work practice and the field of social work.

EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR PROGRAM APPLICATIONS

1) Topic Information

The topic must be relevant to social work practice. The implications to social work and/or program operations are to be clear, logical and defensible.

Applications must contain sufficient information to identify goals/objectives, conference intent, topic content and speaker qualifications. If the submitted information is insufficient, additional information is solicited from the conference sponsor before rendering a final decision.

Topics solely based on religious or political dimensions as the predominant theme will not beconsidered for continuing education credit. Religious or political content may be acceptable,however, if the program’s focus is on social work and if the program is consonant with social work values, including client self-determination and social action. See, for example, sections 1.02 and 6.04 of the NASW Code of Ethics.1.

For clinical/LCSW applications, note that the statutory definition of clinical social work includes “Modifying … external conditions that affect a client’s behavior, emotions, thinking, or intrapersonal processes” (ORS 675.510 (2)(d)).2

1. Section 1.02 states, in part, that “Social workers respect and promote the right of clients to self-determination and assist clients in their efforts to identify and clarify their goals.” Section 6.04 states, in part that “Social workers should be aware of the impact of the political arena on practice and should advocate for changes in policy and legislation to improve social conditions in order to meet basic human needs and promote social l justice.” It also says that social workers should act to expand choice and opportunity, promote conditions that encourage respect for cultural and social diversity, and act to prevent and eliminate discrimination.

2. “Clinical social work’ means the professional practice of applying principles and methods with individuals, couples, families, children and groups, which include, but are not restricted to: (a) Providing diagnostic, preventive and treatment services of a psychosocial nature pertaining to personality adjustment, behavior problems, interpersonal dysfunctioning and deinstutionalization; (b) Developing a psychotherapeutic relationship to employ a series of problem solving techniques for the purpose of removing, modifying, or retarding disrupted patterns of behavior, and for promoting positive personality growth and development; (c) Counseling and the use of psychotherapeutic techniques such as disciplined interviewing which is supportive, directive or insight oriented depending on diagnosed problems, observation and feedback, systematic analysis and recommendation; (d) Modifying internal and external conditions that affect a client’s behavior, emotions, thinking, or interpersonal processes; (e) Explaining and interpreting the psychosocial dynamics of human behavior o to facilitate problem solving; and (f) Supervising, administering or teaching clinical social work practice.

Conferences which are open to 'consumers' and the public as well as professionals will be considered for approval if the application clearly shows how the subject matter will be tied to social work practice.

Conferences which include break-out sessions or portions which do not meet the criteria for CEcredit will be reviewed and partial credit will be approved for the relevant portions.

Courses which include language study: These courses will be reviewed and CE credit given for theportions which include content relevant in a social work setting such as information about cultural values, considerations in treatment decisions, understanding from a cultural context in making clinical assessments.
