Submit a Kaltura video of yourself discussing the client from the perspective of feminist theory. Your video should be no longer than 5 minutes.
o Although this is a professional presentation, it is not a formal presentation as in a speech. Imagine that you are discussing your case with a group of peers in a meeting. To verbally present a case can be challenging-but it is also a skill for which practice can relieve anxiety and result in improvement. This will give you an opportunity to practice how to deliver material in a professional manner.
o You can have notes in front of you to help you remember your points.
o However, your video does need to be professional. In other words, dress professionally, maintain eye contact as if you were speaking in front of your colleagues, and finally be sure to record yourself in a room that is quiet and where no one interrupts you.
Your video presentation should include the following:
o In 1 to 2 sentences, identify and describe the problem to be worked on in your chosen case study.
o In 1 to 2 sentences, explain how feminist theory you are utilizing defines and explains the cause of the problem.
o In 1 to 2 sentences, use feminist theory to describe the role of the social worker to facilitate change in the case study.
o In the assessment phase, identify 2 assessment questions you will ask to explore what the client's goals are and how they will get there.
- Remember, feminist theory should be driving the assessment.
o Describe two interventions to address the problem and explain how the clients will implement the interventions.
- Remember, feminist theory should be driving the interventions.
o In 2 to 3 sentences, discuss how you would evaluate if one of the interventions you identified is effective with the client.
o Explain how, specifically, you will set the tone throughout your work with the client to reduce the hierarchical relationship and make it more collaborative.
o Evaluate one strength and one limitation of feminist theory in working with the client.
