As a lecturar at InHolland University, I have redeveloped the legal frameworks for the social work program and specifically for the youth profile. These adjustments were necessary to match the profession that the students will pursue once they have their diploma.
I have also revised and improved the approach of dealing with moral dilemmas in youth care. I did this in a way that the students will be prepared to the professions they will fulfill.
And currently I am part of a group that is renewing the entire curriculum of social work education, my part is focused on the legal frameworks of the field of social work.
I really enjoy what I am doing. It gives me a sense of satisfaction to notice that the students find that what I am teaching them interesting and, above all, useful.
