Summary

This student-focused workbook, which presents the problem-solving experience in a protected environment, makes an excellent complement to generalist courses and any macro practice or policy course. It provides an experiential approach to macro practice concerns, with a special eye to critical thinking, policy-practice, community practice, organization practice, and leadership and professional development. Activities, activity charts, exercises, critical thinking skill-builders, and a running case study make this experience authentic and bring the content to life.
