See you all tomorrow. We are doing a special mindfulness activity, so be prepared to go outside when we do that activity.

Unit Introduction and What You Will Learn

Week eight is synchronous with having class on Saturday (10/17/26) for SOWK 590. Students continue to work at the practicum and will submit their weekly journal. We will have the following agenda:

  • SLED: Intersectionality and Identity
  • Mindfulness activity
  • Practice Learning Reflection Group

The learning objectives this week include:

  • Students consider intersectionality and identity, and how these concepts relate to their practice.
  • Students will actively practice a mindfulness activity.
  • Students will recognize the shared experiences of their peers in the practicum and be able to utilize the group as a method for sharing and problem-solving.
  • Students will analyze their practicum experience, reflecting on how it connects to their development and demonstration of competence.

Unit Assignments

Midcourse Feedback

For assessment purposes I put both this and your 595 classes together. It is time to submit your midcourse feedback. You can find it on the left sidebar of MyHeritage or by going to - SOWK 590 Survey and SOWK 595 Survey. Please complete all of the feedback for all of your courses. For the 590 think about our time in class. For 595 you can think about the site visit and practicum.

Unit Resources

Our mindfulness activity we are going to do this week will be to create and use poi for spinning. I participated in an activity related to this at the NASW conference I went to last month and wanted to share it with all of you. You can find some information about the Flow Arts Institute and some resources by the presenter Resources - Sound Connections Counseling and Consulting. You can also see Poi (performance art) - Wikipedia.

All of the presentations for this class can be found at https://presentations.jacobrcampbell.com. This week’s slides are Fall 2026 SOWK 590 Week 08 - Advanced Seminar I.

The Lecture Videos tab in the MyHeritage course is where you will be able to find class recordings.
