Getting Started During this course, you will conduct a policy analysis related to social welfare. The policy analysis will have five sections. You will create your project incrementally throughout the course in Workshops Two through Seven. Each week, you will complete one section of the analysis and submit a piece of the whole so you can receive feedback from your instructor and improve your work before your final submission in Workshop Seven. As a social worker, you will be expected to demonstrate character, leadership, and scholarship in the arena of policy and its use in clinical practice. Character is the product of constant action, striving daily to make the right choices. Through your work of advocacy toward policy reform, you are demonstrating such qualities as responsibility, fairness, and caring, and proving by example that you value character. Scholarship means a commitment to learning. Applying diligence and effort toward learning about policy and advocacy as a social worker can impact your practice positively as a professional. Leadership at your agency means having a positive influence on your colleagues. In taking the initiative to learn about and advocate for policy reform, you can encourage others to attain the same objective, thus positively affecting your clients and your work toward social justice. In this assignment, you will conduct a historical review of the policy you selected in Workshop One. Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to: Identify social policies at the local, state, and federal levels that impact well-being, service delivery, and access to social services. (PO 5) Assess how social welfare and economic policies impact the delivery of and access to social services.

As we have read and discussed, social policies in the United States have been informed and impacted by historical and political events in the United States. Policy analysis means taking apart a policy (or law, legislation, or act) to understand, evaluate, critique, and provide suggestions for modifications to the policy. This process requires having a good understanding of historical events (and sometimes political events), as they often impact how policies are written, funded, and implemented. Instructions Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade. Review the Final Project file for a description of the section that you will write for this assignment. Review IWU’s APA 6e Guide on how to properly cite sources. In a two-page APA-formatted document, write Section 2 of your Policy Analysis: Historical Review.
