School social work enters its second century as a profession still
conflicted about its central mission. Are school social workers
meant to be "in-house" clinicians providing services to kids in
need, or are they meant to be involved in program development to
enhance the social and emotional learning of all students in a
school? How much time should they devote to serving whole families,
or consulting with teachers? Whatever school social workers claim
to do in their schools, it's clear that they are going to have to
prove that they are effective doing it. The demands of federal
legislation like No Child Left Behind and state requirements for
certification are making it increasingly necessary that school
social workers demonstrate that they are highly qualified
school-based mental health and social service professionals who can
demonstrate outcomes that impact school "bottom line" issues like
student achievement, attendance, and behavior. Rather than recoil
from this pressure, school social workers can utilize the skills of
evidence based practice (EBP) to help them enhance both their
effectiveness and their knowledge of interventions that work to
help students, teachers, parents, and staff in school contexts. A
succinct SSWAA Workshop volume, The Domains and Demands of School
Social Work Practice demonstrates how EBP can be integrated into
school social worker's daily practice, advancing the debate about
where social workers can and should intervene, and how to do so
effectively. Highlighting primary clinical issues, family problems,
and school-wide needs faced by school social workers, it helps
practitioners make the best use of evidence to be flexible,
effective advocates at alllevels of practice.
