Evidence-based Practice & Research and Program Evaluation

Using Indigenous Knowledge and Program Evaluation to Improve Inclusion and Retention in MSW Education

Friday, October 25, 2024
4:15 PM – 4:45 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 7A
Indigenous knowledge systems should be embedded implicitly and explicitly into education. Through program evaluation, a new MSW program examined collaboration, recruitment, retention, and inclusion of indigenous people, ethnic minorities, and all students within the program. The researchers explore opportunities to strengthen ADEI support systems to decrease gaps in indigenous enrollment.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will identify opportunities to develop relationships with local tribes and elders.
  2. Participants will identify strategies to support students from all identities with retention and inclusion.
  3. Participants will identify strategies to evaluate social work programming including record-keeping and marketing methods; outreach; graduation rates; demographic information; and advising data.
