  I'm works with students, families and teachers to solve problems relating to student achievement and mental health. The individual should also be prepared to manage crisis situations as they arise, and can expect to be on call for such crises. I'm must be familiar with social service agencies in the community so that students and their families can be connected to the appropriate services. Many schools require the school social worker to provide individual and group counseling to students and their families. I'm frequently will serve as a professional resource for school staff, who may seek my counsel on coping with a student’s abnormal behavior or request training on an issue that affects students, such as family abuse or drugs. I'm often must make home visits and should feel comfortable working with people from all ethnic and economic backgrounds. I'm can expect to participate in the creation of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), serving as an advocate for the students. I'm will also be required to serve on committees, such as those established to draft school improvement plans, intervention programs and other programmatic changes. Completion and maintenance of paperwork is also a requirement. I'm must maintain clinical records on his case management services, which includes documenting home visits, counseling sessions and other services.
