Description

School Social Work: National Perspectives on Practice in Schools aims to provide a contemporary understanding of school social work practice given the changing educational context. While unique in that the content aligns with the newly developed national practice model developed by SSWAA; the text includes several other useful features. For one; practice and policy are approached from an intersectionality perspective; which provides a framework for thinking about various systems of oppression and allows the practitioner to account for the unique experience of students based on migration experience; sexuality; race; ethnicity; and gender. Theory and practice (alongside case studies) also illustrate school social work across the United States in a variety of settings. And finally; the authors -- including school social work practitioners and school social work researchers/academics -- are representative of various regions in the country; thereby providing a national overview of the profession. School Social Work is an undeniably invaluable resource for school social workers; school social work students; and school-based clinicians.
