Seventh Edition

Editors

Carol Rippey Massat, University of Illinois at Chicago

John P. Flynn, Western Michigan University

School Social Work: Practice, Policy, and Research, seventh edition, is still the most comprehensive guide to social work practice in schools. This edition includes a greater emphasis on evidence-based practices and an enhanced focus on diversity. Two new chapters address the history of education of African American children and important policies regarding work with vulnerable groups in the United States.

School Social Work maintains its extensive coverage of contemporary topics, including the No Child Left Behind Act, the accountability movement in education, and the changing economic, social, and political climate for schools in the 21st century. Case examples and policy and practice applications support the book’s strong emphasis on group work, work with families, attendance, case management, the child welfare system, social skills training, violence reduction, crisis intervention, and peer mediation.

Features

The seventh edition is as versatile as ever, and continues to cover all aspects of school social work practice.
This title can be used for a single freestanding course in school social work, as a separate text for a course on practice with children, or across several courses focusing on school social work. It can serve as a resource for practicing school social workers, as well as for state licensing organizations focused on developing school social work credentials in their states.
School Social Work is up-to-date, including emerging trends in school social work and reflecting current education legislation and policy.
Chapters are clearly organized and seamlessly integrated into a consistent theoretical framework.
Issues of diversity are threaded through each chapter, providing real-world examples of practice with children, families, schools, and communities.

Two professional organizations that assist school social workers are the Illinois Association of School Social Workers and the School Social Workers Association of America. Both provide membership benefits, including reduced rates on the School Social Work Journal, http://lyceumbooks.com/sswjournal.htm
