Title: Let’s Talk About Autism: Supporting Students and Families During COVID-19 School Closures
Description: Students and families coping with school closures due to COVID-19 are facing many challenges that school social workers are aware of. Students with a diagnosis of Autism are experiencing unique challenges during this time, as they do not have access to in-person special education services that can help them to be successful in the school setting. How can school social workers support our students and their families? This webinar will provide a brief overview of Autism, strategies and tools to use with students in the virtual world, as well as how to support families.
Title: Creating a Culture of Equity: School Social Workers, Advocacy, and Professional Ethics
Description: The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing racial injustices such as xenophobic rhetoric and police violence have been particularly overwhelming for communities of color in the United States. This political, health, and economic context has made existing inequalities and injustices increasingly visible, particularly in school contexts where they are microcosms of larger society. School social work needs to be re-conceptualized to accommodate this reality, both in terms of how students and families connect with services and how school social work professionals navigate and broker access and advocate for and with minoritized communities. Professional social work organizations’ codes of ethics are analyzed, along with the school social work model to better understand how professional ethics serve as a foundation for this work. It is an ethical imperative that school social work practice advance culturally responsive, equitable, and anti-racism programs and interventions. School social work is an example of how this context could serve as an opportunity to revision our practice, learn from the past, and construct new approaches that provide a compassionate and ethical practice that advanced racial equity in the schools
Title: Stay Sleep or Get Woke: Leading Anti-Racist Assessment & Action in Schools
Description: This webinar addresses school social workers’ critical commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in K-12 schools to successfully guide their own schools in embracing anti-racist policies and practices. We highlight the unique positionality, training, mission, and mandates of social workers within a school’s specific ecosystem that make us well-positioned to lead in this effort. We provide strategies on how to conduct a cultural assessment and how school social workers can embrace the continuous process of advancing and embedding anti-racist policies and practices into the core fabric of our work in schools. Using multi-tier systems of support (MTSS) framework with case examples from our own practice experiences at each tier, we provide concrete tools and a simple six step process to guide school social workers in advancing anti-racist policies and practices in their own schools
