The textbook School Social Work: Practice, Policy, and Research, 9th Edition, serves as a foundational guide to professional practice in educational environments. Drawing on more than forty years of development, the volume examines how school social work influences academic, behavioral, and social outcomes across school communities.
The text addresses educational policy frameworks, ethical standards regarding confidentiality, and data-driven assessment methods. It also outlines multitiered intervention models designed to connect schoolwide prevention strategies with targeted behavioral support.
This edition introduces expanded material on antiracist practice, trauma-informed care, and evidence-informed interventions. These readings assist practitioners and students navigating complex educational challenges, including the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
