ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS

Supervision and Evaluation: Ideally, School Social Work supervision occurs in two distinct areas: administrative supervision and professional practice supervision. Each of these types of supervision is critical to a School Social Worker's job performance and professional development.

Administrative Supervision: Administrative supervision is done by the School Social Workers immediate supervisor. This type of supervision includes monitoring of work schedules and completion of assigned tasks; and evaluating the School Social Worker's staff relationships, written reports, and presentations to the public. Some examples of the School Social Worker s behaviors and characteristics that are supported and evaluated in this area of supervision are: punctuality, work habits, writing correctness, appropriate use of language, respect for the school community, and adherence to school policy and procedures.

Professional Practice Supervision: Because School Social Workers provide specialized services in schools, it is recommended that they receive appropriate supervision in their professional school social work practices. This area of supervision is best provided by a highly trained School Social Work professional. This supervision includes support and evaluation of school social work services for individuals and groups, consulting skills and practices, and instructional presentations to school and community groups.

When School Social Workers (who have obtained the LCSW credential or are in the process of doing so) are performing clinical work, they should have supervision by another professional with the I-CSW credential.
