Abstract
Schools of social work are updating their curriculum to meet updated 2022 EPAS changes, specifically to teach and measure outcomes related to Engagement in ADEI Social Work Practice. This university is a private, Christian, predominantly white institution (PWI) located in the Midwestern, USA. This BSW program redesigned its pre-practicum course sequence to emphasize community-engaged learning. The redesign requires students to be placed in a community context that differs from the student's ethnic/racial identity, engages in critical reflective readings, explores concepts related to white supremacy, develops an advocacy/justice project with a poster presentation on campus to follow. An exploratory qualitative method was used to understand how students' engagement in this pre-practicum course may influence their understanding of ADEI social work practice.
