This week’s readings from CMSA present professional standards that case managers should use to guide their work. The process of learning about one’s career and growing into a professional cultivates an understanding and valuation of the guiding principles of the profession.

Directions:

Write a paper covering the Guiding Principles of Case Management:

1. Your introduction should describe the importance of and rationale for applying the guiding principles in the field of human service specific to case management.
2. Each subsequent paragraph should be devoted to one of the 12 guiding principles (at least one paragraph per principle). Provide a description of the principle and an example of how it is applied and manifested in practice.
   1. Incorporate at least two scholarly sources, other than assigned readings for this course, to support your analysis and positions. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find scholarly sources.
