We Move On and Get It Done: Educating Social Workers through a Pandemic
Gherardi, Stacy A.; Mallonee, Jason R.; Gergerich, Erika
Journal of Social Work Education, v57 suppl 1 p27-43 2021
The global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related closures that began in spring of 2020 created an unprecedented challenge for higher education broadly and social work education specifically. This article describes qualitative data collected from a survey of social work educators in the spring of 2020. Social work educators from across the United States representing diverse institutions described the challenges their students experienced as well as sources of strength and resilience they witnessed in students during the early phases of the pandemic. Findings highlight challenges that social work education will continue to face in the coming years in addition to clear actions that social work educators and programs can take to support student resilience. Findings also highlight ways in which the experiences of the pandemic could serve to strengthen social work education.
