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 thinkingabout 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 ofsettings. 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.

Despite their institutional preparation and lived experiences, new school social workers encounter numerous practices, political considerations, community engagement strategies, and seemingly fundamental elements involved in the learning curve needed to move from entry-level to proficiency. The Art of Being Indispensable What School Social Workers Need to Know in Their First Three Years of Practice contains content specific to what they will need in their first three years of practice, bridging the learning gap from their academic preparation to early employment in P-12 settings. Organized into four sections - The Host Environment, The Macro School Social Worker, Integration and Intervention, and School Social Worker Sustainability - the content of the book is framed by a mixed-methods study on the needs of new practitioners. It is an indispensable guide that new school social workers can consult to effectively execute their roles and responsibilities.

With the complexity of change that PreK-12 schools are facing, frameworks are needed to understand what the 2020s and beyond will require of the school community. While some educational stakeholders are calling for a return to the "three R's" (reading, writing, arithmetic) most educational scholars and futurists envision public schools expanding comprehensive service delivery systems that meet multiple educational, behavioral, and social needs of students and their families. This vision of expanded service delivery includes community partnerships that address students' resource and mental health needs, educational collaborations that bring learning from the community into the classroom, and wellness initiatives that emphasize health and wellbeing for all stakeholders. Concurrently, social work as a profession is adapting to the increase in online mental health services, re-examining its history, practices, identity, and complicity in oppression, and revisiting its roots of community-based practice and activism. The profession has increased its footprint in policy advocacy and support for segments of the population targeted by certain policymakers such as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) populations and the Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) populations. The profession is still tentatively advancing toward full technology adoption, including utilization of technology-supported social work interventions. With this background of change facing society, Emerging Trends in School Social Work Practice focuses on the challenges and opportunities to further develop the professional specialty of school social work. The book examines 13 different emerging trends through the lenses of school social work practitioners and academic scholars working in partnership for each chapter. The book's editors, former school social workers and current social work scholars, worked with a national team of authors to write the chapters on the new landscape for this micro-mezzo-macro career. The information in this text will help school social workers prepare, plan, and develop their existing knowledge into accelerated skills needed to meet these demands. The book concludes with a chapter written by school social work leaders examining their burgeoning role in the PreK-12 educational landscape and leaving breadcrumbs for others to follow their path to greater influence.
