SWK 5730. Advanced Practice in School Social Work (3 credits)


This course is designed to enhance students’ knowledge base in preparation for advanced generalist practice in public school settings. Emphasis is placed upon historical development, legislation affecting school social work practice, challenges experienced by school age children, and the role of the school social worker in applying evidence based interventions. An ecological approach within the context of the school, family, and community will be applied. Students will engage in application based learning activities designed to examine a range of practice and policy issues related to the delivery of social work services in educational contexts. Current federal and state laws pertaining to practice with school-age children and their families will be explored in addition to school social work professional standards, program development, and licensure.
