Social work as a democratically constituted profession committed to
human rights is currently facing cross-border encroachments and
attacks by right-wing populist movements and governments. With the
Bundestag elections in September 2017, the question of the extent
to which right-wing populist forces succeed in influencing the
discourse with xenophobic and nationalist arguments arises in
Germany, too. The authors examine how social work can respond
effectively to nationalism, exclusion, de-solidarization and a
basic skepticism about science and position itself against this
background. The book explores different conditions in Germany,
France, Poland, Russia and the US.
This work is written through an authentic systems perspective, by
five coauthors with diverse expertise in a variety of areas. The
contents include past and current roles in k-12 classroom teaching,
special education, administration, college teaching, and state
education administration. Concrete applications for use in the
classrooms are presented, which utilize the systems approach and
provides real life experiential strategies for implementing the
concepts highlighted in the section. As readers are asked to
translate theory into practice, the authors model this effort
seamlessly and realistically. For example, the 'Parent-Teacher
Communication' chapter supplies an abundance of promising practices
from the individual teacher level, to the school level, to the
district-level involvement among the elements of the system. The
'Technology' chapter discusses the best practices for teaching and
learning through technology and highlights examples that are in use
in schools today. In the 'Cultural Diversity' chapter, educators
are given case studies and exemplars on how other districts,
schools, or individual teachers have integrated diversity in their
settings. The text invites the reader to absorb the theoretical
aspects and view these through real life applications. The reader
easily becomes a participant in the process of creating
applications in classrooms through the discussion questions for
each chapter, and the vignettes interspersed throughout the book.
