ABSTRACT Social work educators face the task of integrating personal experiences into their teaching practice. In difficult topic areas such as child protection, violence, trauma, and abuse, the challenge of presenting material objectively is made more difficult when the social work educator has lived experience of these topics. This paper uses a critically creative autoethnographic methodology to examine the nexus between the author’s lived experience of the child protection system as a foster parent and teaching child protection in an undergraduate social work course. Creative writing techniques are employed to express the grief associated with foster child loss, to engage the author in a reflexive process. Implications for social work educators, and teaching from lived experience, are considered.

尘土环绕我的心。教给儿童保护免受生活经验的影响：一项人种志分析

摘要社会工作教育者的任务是将个人经验融入他们的教学实践中。在诸如儿童保护，暴力，创伤和虐待等棘手的话题领域，如果社会工作教育者具有这些话题的经验，那么客观呈现材料的挑战就变得更加困难。本文使用批判性创新的人种志方法论来检验作者在儿童保护体系中作为养父母的生活经验与在大学社会工作课程中教授儿童保护之间的联系。运用创造性的写作技巧来表达与养育子女流失有关的悲伤，使作者参与反思过程。考虑了对社会工作教育者的启示以及从实际经验中进行的教学。
