Refresher Course for School Social Workers
This course is open to social workers who would like to renew their school social work approval, who received their temporary approval within the five years prior, but who have not met the requirements for employment in the field. Temporary approval in the State of Michigan lapses after five years. This course will renew your temporary approval for another five year period. This four-day seminar will focus on best practices in school social work. This course will focus on Functional Behavioral Analysis and Behavioral Intervention Plans now required by the IDEA special education law; incorporating the use of therapeutic adventure in assessment and intervention plans for students; and a review and update in all areas of school social work approval, including psychological testing in school social work, mental health and mental disorders in children and youth, and the status of social work in schools.
