There is a wide range of school-related problems that social workers can assist in addressing through evidence-based practices and community, human, and technological resources. Week eight, an asynchronous week, is designed to help students gain a more well-defined understanding of the problems and awareness of resources that can help address them. Students will read chapter eight of Jarolmen and Batista-Thomas (2023), which reviews issues critical for school social workers. Students engage in forums to share their experiences with problems and explore a broad range of resources. The lecture video for students this week includes practical content on saving resources to share with clients and colleagues, as well as information about the fact sheet assignment.

The agenda for the lecture video is as follows:

  • Content for week eight
  • Saving informational resources
  • School-related problem fact sheet

The learning objectives for week eight include:

  • Identify and define school-related problems social workers commonly encounter.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of various resources (human, community, and technological) that can be leveraged to address school-related challenges.
  • Evaluate strategies for effectively integrating community resources into school settings to provide wraparound services, particularly in rural and small district contexts.
  • Demonstrate practical skills in collecting, organizing, and sharing informational resources valuable for professional social work practice in schools.

A rubric table titled 'School-Related Problem Fact Sheet Rubric' is displayed. It lists criteria for a highly developed fact sheet, including problem definition, addressing strategies, product accessibility, scholarly grounding, APA compliance, and assignment adherence.

Highly Developed

  • A school related problem is defined and connects to the school context The fact sheet clearly defines a relevant school-related issue, providing a comprehensive overview of its causes, manifestations, and educational/systemic impacts. The problem is framed with attention to school culture and student populations, demonstrating a deep understanding of its significance in school social work practice.
  • Strategies for addressing the problem are articulated The fact sheet presents well-developed, research-informed intervention strategies at micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Strategies are realistic, actionable, and incorporate human, community, and technological resources.
  • A professional and accessible product is developed The final product is visually appealing, well-organized, and formatted for easy comprehension by parents and teachers. Language is clear, concise, and professional, with appropriate use of headings, bullet points, and graphics (if applicable).
  • The basis of the problem and intervention are grounded in scholarship The discussion of the problem and proposed interventions are linked to best practices as evidenced by in-text citations.
  • The reference list follows APA standards The reference list includes at least ten recent, high-quality sources, and accurately follows APA standards.
  • Following Assignment The fact sheet closely follows the assignment description and requirements.
