Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The role of a school social worker is to network with not only educational staff and administrators, but with the students. A social worker, who is sometimes referred to as a counselor, attempts to reduce present or potential risks in a student's life.Increasingly, schools employ social workers to lessen the educational and developmental problems facing children .School social workers operate as a link among the school, the students, their families, and the community's social services. They work with students both in their homes and in their schools, while focusing on family and community factors that influence their performance in school. School social workers make a broad impact. They often reduce the number of school dropouts, or they may coordinate agency services for students and their families, and increasingly they develop strategies to prevent school violence.
