Your post makes me think of this survey which I had my 4th graders complete at the beginning of the year: http://www.lauracandler.com/strategies/CL/misurvey.pdf. Thanks for your post!

School settings provide professional School Social Workers opportunities to intervene on every level of the community. Of all the settings in which Social Workers practice, schools are one of the most “generalist” in nature — and therefore, the creativity, critical thinking and relational skills needed, are extraordinarily complex and layered. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the work done by SSW in schools. And I want to thank the author of this blog, for providing yet another creative strategy, that can promote this field of practice and encourage schools in Texas and beyond, to be sure to have a SSW on their student support teams. It’s dialogue like this, that can expand the thinking about SSW.
