Thinking sociologically is an important core skill for social work students and practitioners but, the authors suggest, they can struggle to apply sociological theories to practice situations. This paper introduces a practical teaching model to assist students and practitioners articulate and explain sociological theory in their social work practice. The model has been used to teach sociology for first year New Zealand social work students. It is argued that this model offers students and practitioners a straightforward 'nuts and bolts' method that can easily be drawn on in class, and in practice, to guide sociological theorising.
