This article describes a course on feminist social work practice that
was designed to develop, model, and create interventions and strate
gies that are meaningful to women's experience and reality. Nontra
ditional styles of teaching and learning emerged using a team ap
proach. Shared knowledge was a hallmark of the class as the teachers
and students sought to challenge the concept of hierarchy and to create
a climate for cooperative and interactive learning.
