School Social Work Association of America’s National School Social Work Practice Model 2.0: The Past, Present, and Future

This editorial on the School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA)’s National School Social Work Practice Model 2.0 is presented at a critical juncture for the profession—a time for reflection on the identity and purpose of school social work. The original model was first introduced in 2011 and approved by the SSWAA board in December 2013, and revisions began in 2021, culminating in approval in December 2023. This revised model shares several key similarities with its predecessor. First, it continues to provide a common framework for our profession, promoting consistency in the education, credentialing, practice, and evaluation of school social workers. Second, both models were designed to provide direction for a broad audience, including social work educators, administrators, and consumers of school social work services. Finally, both models are intentionally descriptive and prescriptive. Descriptively, the models highlight key areas where school social workers engage, which must be broad enough to encompass the diverse and dynamic roles of the profession. Prescriptively, they serve as roadmaps, providing actionable strategies and directions to guide educators and practitioners to address the evolving needs of students and schools.
