SWRK 6220 - Interventions for School Social Workers


This is a required course for those who wish to practice social work in a public school setting in the State of Michigan. The role of the social worker in elementary and secondary schools and the necessary adaptations to the changes taking place in the educational scene are examined and evaluated. Problem solving approaches are given special attention within the structure and organization of the schools and their relationship with the surrounding community.  SWRK 6220 is one of three courses that are required for the educational component of the School Social Work certificate in the State of Michigan. The other two courses you will need to take are SWRK 6200 and SWRK 6210. You may substitute courses or continuing education credit from other universities for these courses. For more information please see the School Social Work Certificate information and application included on the D2L course page. Each state handles School Social Work qualifications differently. If you plan on practicing outside of Michigan please become familiar with requirements of the state you plan to practice in.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: SWRK 6210 with a grade of “B” or better.

Credits: 3 hours
