Abstract
In 2008 the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) developed competency-based accreditation standards that establish and define operational practice behaviors. To implement the 2008 accreditation standards, baccalaureate program faculty throughout the country are using curriculum mapping strategies to review and critique current course content and assessment measures. CSWE's National Center for Gerontological Social Work Education offers faculty development opportunities and curriculum resources to promote gerontology competence at the generalist level. Through the curriculum mapping process faculty can determine how to include gerontological social work competency achievement among their students while meeting the 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards requirements. This article uses an evidence-based framework to provide examples of pedagogy that can serve this dual function.
