Abstract

Iowa is seeing a rather definite growth in the employment of school social workers. The reasons are twofold: • There is an increasing realization that disturbance in children, delinquency in adolescents, and under achievement in school is frequently related to personal and social adjustment problems of an out-of-school ( home and community) origin. • The funding of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 provided the means for many school districts to initiate a service of school social work as an extension of their present services. As is crucial in any newly-expanding program, it seemed wise to step back a moment and assess the job that needed to be done. By bringing together three leaders in the field of social work education and practice.
