School Social Work Worldwide opens the boundaries of international school social work as never before. Sequentially arranged chapters allow practitioners, educators, and students to follow the expansion of school social work practice around the world. Leaders in the field from 12 countries provide eye-opening perspectives and interventions that are impressive in their range and application. Further, the book looks ahead to policy and practice issues for the future direction of the profession.

School Social Work Worldwide makes a compelling statement about contemporary school social work—the critical need for the international professional community to learn from one another so that all of our children can reach their full potential through education. It exemplifies the value of collaboration in developing the literature of the profession and raises issues for social work educators about including international themes in social work education.
