About This Project

This workbook was originally created in 2016 to accompany a two credit undergraduate basic interviewing skills course at Salisbury University’s School of Social Work. The authors, who also teach the course, struggled to find an affordable textbook option for the course that was brief, relevant, and provided application opportunities to support students’ learning. Therefore, an inexpensive self-published version of this workbook was created for the course! The authors updated the workbook almost every year to reflect feedback from students, lessons learned from its usage, and changes in the field of social work. The feedback on the content and format was overwhelmingly positive. So, in order to help other social work instructors and students engage with this content the authors decided to create a free Open Educational Resource (OER) version of the workbook that launched in early 2023. We hope you find it useful and applicable to your social work education needs!
