    Study Notes

    Social Work in Education

    • The emergence of social work in the United States can be traced back to the rise of social welfare institutions in the 19th century.
    • These institutions lacked standardized training for their workers, leading to the need for specialized training in the field of social work.
    • Social work in US education began in the late 1906 with "Visiting Teachers" in New York City.
    • The role of visiting teachers was to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
    • In 1913, visiting teachers became a standard part of the New York Public School system.
    • Similar initiatives began in Boston in late 1907, with a program for school-home visits run by a Women's Education Association.
    • The goal of school-home visits was to improve communication and collaboration between schools and families.
