Assessment, Intervention, and Evaluation for the School Social Worker

Catalog description

Geared toward social workers practicing in school settings, this course will explore individual, group, and systemic approaches to assessment, intervention, and evaluation. This course is divided into three modules: (1) individual interventions and assessment tools, (2) group interventions and assessment tools, and (3) school-wide approaches. Throughout the course, students will be exposed to a wide range of tools and strategies that pull from multiple theoretical lenses and practice-based models. Students will consider how to implement these tools and models from the perspective of social work ethics and values. Additionally, students will consider barriers and opportunities to implementation and identify potential connections between theory and practice.
