| Abstract | The way in which findings from a statewide study on permanency planning were utilized and integrated within an accredited undergraduate social work curriculum is described. The concept of permanency planning (through the provision of in-home services to help the child remain in his/her biological home or the removal of the child and placement in an adoptive home) is discussed briefly, together with the background of the 1983 consent decree in New Mexico requiring the restructuring of the state's foster care and adoption system. In 1984 a study was conducted to describe the foster care system in New Mexico. Findings revealed problems in: recruitment and maintenance of foster families, emancipation training for older children, identification of incest and sexually abusive families, dealing with attorneys, special needs children, number of past workers for each child, and legal consultation. The study identified some areas that need more integration into the curriculum, such as the importance of legal consultation and the necessity of professional training for child welfare workers. The ways in which this has been done in the human behavior and social environment courses, the social work research course, policy courses, field internships, special topics courses, and the three practice courses in the Bachelor of Social Work curriculum at New Mexico State University are described. Through case examples, students learn critical aspects of permanency planning in the practice courses. In the research course, students manipulate and analyze the data and thus are able to see how research can directly impact policy change. Findings from the study also are used as illustrations in courses. (KM) |
