Assignment 03: Theory and Practice Integrative Paper
Meta: Points 100 pts (25% of final grade); Deadline Friday 10/07/22 at 11:55 PM; Completion via
My Heritage Assignments as an uploaded paper.
Purpose: Students show the integration of theories of practice to their real-world implementation
through the assigned Theory and Practice Integrative Paper. Students work with a partner
to describe an interprofessional conceptual framework, a fictional client, and the
implementation of direct practice with a client.
Task: Working in groups of two, students will author a paper describing a theory of practice and
how a practitioner would implement it working with an individual client. Students may
choose any interprofessional conceptual framework related to social work that they would
like to discuss. Some major examples of this include systems theory, ecological perspective,
strengths perspective, feminist perspective, developmental theories, or any other theories
described in human behavior and the social environment. Students should approach this
paper creatively including the following minimum parts:
§ APA formatting in strong academic writing (e.g., tone, word choice, writing
perspective), paper style (paper sections, headers and footers, page layout, and
spacing), and citations (in-text citation and reference list)
§ Description of the theory examined using peer-reviewed academic journal articles
(must use both in-text citations and a reference list).
§ Discussion of a fictional client and their circumstances.
§ Application of the theory to direct practice actions a clinician would use.
Success: Successful papers are evaluated using the APA Research Paper Rubric which includes the
assessment of the paper content, APA formatting, spelling, grammar, timeliness, and
length. Each paper should be between 1,250 and 1,500 words in length.
