ASSIGNMENT 1:

PORTRAIT OF A PIONEER IN CANADIAN SOCIAL WELFARE

Due Date: Week 4 by start of Seminar

BACKGROUND TO THE ASSIGNMENT

This assignment will encourage you to learn more about some of the men and women who pioneered and influenced Canada*****s social welfare policies and programs, legislation, models of service delivery and public attitudes. With some notable exceptions, the majority of these individuals are rarely accorded national accolades for their pioneering, innovative, culture-shifting ideas, advocacy and commitment to public service for the welfare of all. Yet, as you will discover from your research for this paper, our present social welfare system has been irrevocably shaped by their vision, aspirations and deeds.

Since this is a course about the development of social welfare in Canada, it is only right that you write about the contributions of two of our social work pioneers.

REQUIRED OUTLINE AND CONTENT CATEGORIES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT

Randomly select four or so individuals either from the list provided or that you have discovered from your own research. Do some on line research on all of them. Some have more readily available information about their accomplishments and contributions to social welfare than others. Choose only two of these pioneers of influence that are of particular interest to you and tell their story in your paper.

Career Highlights Of Each Pioneer

In this section, briefly summarize the known career highlights of each of your Pioneers (only for the two you have chosen). Of interest here will be the individual*****s educational background, work experiences, significant awards and areas of professional practice and/or interest. Don*****t forget to indicate the time frame that their career covers and where in Canada their contributions were most noticeable.

The Pioneers***** Significant Contribution to Social Welfare In Canada

This is an important section. Write about the significant contribution(s) that each of your chosen Pioneers made in the evolution of social work practice and/or social welfare legislation and/or client services. Write this in your own words; don*****t cut and paste sentences, paragraphs, etc. from your main research sources as I will be randomly checking your sources (plagiarism will result in a grade of 0).

Your Conclusions About The Pioneers***** Impact on Social Welfare

This is also an important section and must be at least 2 pages in length. Write a short narrative on how you have assessed the impact of each of your Pioneer*****s contributions as you understand the development of social welfare services in our country. This definitely should be a thoughtful, carefully considered point of view and opinion that is yours and not something that you have taken from another social commentator, ***** or researcher!

Bibliographical Sources

In this section, indicate all the sources you used to create your profile for each of your chosen Pioneers. Use an APA format for each source. If you are using a newer version of Microsoft Word, under the References tab, you can use the Citations and Bibliography tab to correctly format to APA standards. You can also check out HYPERLINK "http://www.knightcite.com" www.knightcite.com as another helpful formatting source for your citations.
