Qualifications and Requirements for Social Work Supervision

Consult your state licensing board, the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) and/or your state chapter of NASW to determine the qualifications for social work supervision, licensure, supervision contracts and plans, and any other relevant requirements (such as documentation) in the jurisdiction where you practice. Be aware that depending on the regulatory standards in your state, these may include specifications for each level of social work practice or they may be universal. If there are no specified legal or regulatory requirements that address social work supervision, licensure, supervision contracts and plans in your jurisdiction, that information should be reported here as well. Provide clear headings and document the source of your information; however, this is neither a research paper nor a personal reflection so it is not necessary for you to put the information into your own words. It is appropriate to copy and paste the relevant information for the purposes of this assignment.
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT FOCUS ON AN ESSAY AND COMPLETE WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE ASSIGNMENT. I LIVE IN INDIANA SO EVERYTHING NEEDS TO PERTAINING TO INDIANA STANDARDS.
YOU MAKE NOT USE ALL 10 SOURCE FINDINGS BUT PLEASE PUT AS MANY SOURCES AS YOU FIND EVEN IF IT IS MORE THAN TEN. THEY NEED TO COME FROM NASW ( https://www.naswin.org/page/swlicensingIN) OR STATE SOCIAL WORK (https://www.in.gov/pla/) and if you find anything else.

Module Assignment: Paradigms of Inquiry

Why:
As social work practitioners and scholars, we must understand how ontology (assumptions about the nature of reality), epistemology (how knowledge is acquired and justified), and axiology (the researchers’ values in the research process) all shape one’s research (methodology and methods). In the Paradigms of Inquiry in Action Podcast on social constructivism, Dr. Grise-Owens talks about research as the “search for knowledge” inviting us to think about the research in the “traditional” sense and in exploring and assessing practice wisdom.
Earlier in the course, you wrote a position statement exploring your own world view. One’s own positionality influence one’s connectivity with different paradigms. Grounding your quest for knowledge in your understanding of paradigms of inquiry, your positionality, and your practice will aid you in formulating and exploring research questions.

What:
For the assignment you will identify and analyze three of the research paradigms we have explored in class. Reflect on your positionality, the practice and/or social problem you identified in your positionality paper, and your practice experience. Then select three paradigm that aligns with how you see and understand the search for knowledge and social work practice.
Utilizing course materials regarding research paradigms, methodology guiding methods, etc. describe what research method you might use to investigate your problem of practice within each of the paradigms you selected (i.e., positivism, post-positivism, interpretivism, and/or social constructivism). Your paper should include the each of the components listed below.
Introduction
Overview of the practice problem or social problem you are addressing
Paradigm discussion, to include
A brief overview
Ontology
Epistemology
Axiology
Methodology
Discussion
Having explored each paradigm more in-depth, which paradigm would you select to execute your research. What are the implications for practice and knowing, including gaps in the knowledge that could arise out of the method you selected.
Conclusion

How:
Your paradigms of inquiry paper should be written in 6 – 10 double-spaced pages, not including the cover page and references. Papers are required to follow APA 7th edition guidelines.
NOTE:
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RUBRIC! PLEASE MAKE UP ANYTHING BUT DONOT BE SO BROAD! THIS NEEDS TO SHOW STRONG CRITICAL THINKING AND YOU CAN MAKE UP ANYTHING YOU WANT. I HAVE ATTACHED MY POSTIONALITY PAPER AND RUBRIC FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. PLEASE PLEASE DO YOUR STRONGEST.
I HAVE ATTACHED THE AUDIO IN TRANSCRIPT FOURM.

Review of the Integrative Paper

First, closely read the instructions for the Integrative Paper. Please note that a completed draft of this paper will be submitted for peer review in Week 13 and the final paper is due in Week 14. For this week, you are asked to submit a brief reflection paper that includes the following:
Discuss your initial thoughts about how you might best be able to utilize this assignment in a way that’s meaningful to you in regards to your current role and/or your intended area of social work practice.
Clearly articulate three specific learning goals applicable to your work on this paper that are meaningful to your own interests and plans.
Please note that the focus of your Integrative Paper in this course can be related to your capstone project if you so choose, but it is not required.
Note:
Please make this impactful and not so broad this needs to be more detailed and more advanced reflective answers. Also, a little about me is I am a social worker in a doctoral program. I am LGBTQIA bi-sexual male. I have my own therapy practice, and I am trying to learn more about how to integrate culture and diversity in my skills as a soon-to-be supervisor. Some thing I want to gain for this project is how to approach situations that are not mine more effectively, where I allow my supervisee to identify there strengths and skills in supervision. Again, how to integrate culture. and you can make up something else that is impact full. PLEASE PLEASE answer with strong detail and strong perspectives. This is less of a research paper and more of a reflective/ brief view that will open up to something bigger. I have attached what the big paper will be so you have an idea of what you need to do and the rubric of the big paper so that we follow in line to when we right the big paper everything will flow into the massive paper.
