Students in this course will become familiar with school social work theory, policy, and practice. Students will examine the history of social work in PK-12 schools, educational issues and policies, conceptual frameworks and service delivery models. Attention will be paid to public-private partnerships in U.S. education. Evidence-informed programs, interventions, and practices spanning a multi-tiered system of supports will be highlighted, e.g., trauma informed schools. Additionally, students will learn important school social worker roles and responsibilities, such as consultation, family engagement, school-community partnerships, and interprofessional practice for school mental health service delivery. The course will critically employ the national school social work practice model from a Trauma-Informed-Human Rights perspective and consider antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion in relation to practice in school settings.
