Role Responsibilities

• Develop practice scenarios involving tools such as electronic health/case record systems (EHR, CCWIS), risk and needs assessment instruments, and interagency referral platforms.
• Apply social work frameworks (biopsychosocial assessment, trauma-informed care, strengths-based practice, NASW Code of Ethics) and produce reference case plans, clinical documentation, and interdisciplinary team communications.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic clinical and ethical judgment from generic textbook or policy-manual recall.
