Dear MSW Students,

On Thursday, January 31^st, 2019, from 4:30-5:30 in room 306 (the smaller room on floor 3) there will be an informational meeting on the School Social Worker K-12 Certification process. Michelle Bagshaw from Field Education and Erin Romanuk, instructor for Soc W 588 – Social Work in Schools, will be hosting the session. You will get the opportunity to learn about the process, requirements, and have the chance to ask questions.

If you’re unable to attend this session, you may find certification Information at: http://socialwork.uw.edu/students/licensure-and-certification

Dear EDP Students:

I wanted to let you know that students working with young children have another option for the required Soc Wk 571. If you are working with young children you can substitute 571 for IECMH-NURS 555 Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Relationship Based Assessment Course offered in winter quarter.  This class is on-line. Attached is the course description.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Maureen
