I have been a school social worker since 2009. I have experience working with birth to grade 12. I have been a school social worker for multiple high schools, middle schools, and elementaries, as well as two Early Childhood Special Education programs. I held a position supporting our families experiencing homelessness for three years. I am now a district-level social worker supporting secondary intervention in all 14 of our secondary schools/programs.
I find school social work is so busy, it is essential to stay extra organized and take good notes! I have created documents to aid in assessment, with organization, and my own memory! I am also working on resources for helping teachers or other staff who are working with families-in-need. Some group resources too!
