Summation of U.S.A History

In 1906, social conditions, life struggles, and a growing immigrant population were forceful factors that supported the development and expansion of education and, in turn, school social work. As education became increasingly regarded as a right for every child, the importance of linking school and community took on more significance. It was during this period that school social workers (then known as visiting teachers) recognized that their role should be more in tune with the social conditions and social movements of the day, and they sought changes in school policies that adversely affected the lives of children. Essentially, they served as the link between the school and the home. Unfortunately, as this field of practice grew, the role of liaison received less emphasis. School social workers, concerned about their identity, sought a more specialized role, one that they believed would link their efforts more closely to the central purpose of education. The 1940s and 1950s were primarily dominated by the social casework approach. The emphasis on establishing a liaison between home and school was not considered as important. However, by the late 1960s and 1970s, the literature once more demanded a broader, more responsive role definition and approach to practice. Presently, legislation and mandates to a large degree determine role definitions. Reactions from school social workers attest to the roles that aid the educational process is clear for the first time in the history of education.
