About this ebook
"This book is well written and inclusive with a realistic approach to problems encountered in schools today. Practical and useable interventions are included which makes this text a valuable resource to the school social worker."
-Terry Housteau-Hill, LSCW, Lead Consultant, Knox County School Social Services
"An invaluable resource . . . [and] extremely reader-friendly."
-Michelle Alvarez, MSW, LCSW, Assistant Professor, School of Social Work
University of Southern Indiana
School Social Work thoroughly covers all aspects of this burgeoning field, from the history and function of school social workers and up-to-date, empirically and developmentally supported interventions to effective methods for implementing and evaluating school social work programs. Educational policy and legislation, community-based interventions, and prevention programs are also covered.
Supported by case vignettes and discussion questions that engage the reader in every chapter, this book:
* Provides proven and promising programs for change in classrooms, schools, families, neighborhoods, and communities
* Equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to function effectively in the unique political environment of the school
* Outlines the school social worker's essential role as a consultant to faculty and administrators as well as creator and mediator of school and community collaborations that enhance the academic success of at-risk students
In addition, this book provides current assessment methods for evaluating the effectiveness of interventions; recently developed standardized measures designed to assess change at the classroom, school, family, neighborhood, and community levels; guidelines for successfully planning, implementing, and evaluating new programs based on Comprehensive Quality Programming (CQP) strategies; and detailed information on the most current student-focused violence prevention programs.
Complete with lists of Internet resources and other references at the end of each chapter, School Social Work is a valuable tool for students and a hands-on resource for school social workers, psychologists, counselors, and administrators.
