“…al., 2015;Thompson et al, 2017) and a third proposed a conceptual model that could be applied to school social work (Thompson et al, 2017). Two other models were found that offered a broader perspective, including SBSW, school psychologists, counselors, nurses, and community partners (Anderson-Butcher et al, 2008;Richard & Villareal Sosa, 2014). These were not specifically focused on SBSW, they did mention how SBSW might fit into the models in the use of data.…”

“…Most of the articles under this theme looked at surveys of how often SBSW used assessment and data processes within their school social work practices (Kelly & Lueck, 2011;Kelly, et. al., 2015;Richard & Villareal Sosa, 2014;Whittlesey-Jerome, 2013). While one article examined a specific approach for SBSW to calculate treatment effectiveness using effect sizes (Rubin & von Sternberg, 2017).…”

confidence: 99%

“…In an effort to clarify the role of SBSW in Louisiana, Richard and Villareal Sosa (2014) found that within their role a majority of SBSW (58%) use assessment and evaluation in their practice. Others found that when survey respondents were asked about adherence to the six best practices in school social work they noted all of the time that they state the target of the intervention (50.0%), operationalize the goal (48.3%), collaborate with others to identify the correct data (36.7%), decide on the frequency of data (30.5%), and sometimes choose reliable and valid measures (30.5%) (Whittlesey-Jerome, 2013).…”

“…What data are shared by SBSW as evidence of the effectiveness of services came across as a theme in two studies (Bye, Shepard, Partridge, & Alvarez, 2009;Richard & Villareal Sosa, 2014). This speaks to whether the services provided impacted the desired outcomes.…”

confidence: 99%

“…This speaks to whether the services provided impacted the desired outcomes. Richard and Villareal Sosa (2014) found that 72% of SBSW provided a response to intervention (RtI) as a measure of effectiveness using school data, followed by administrator reports (82%), case notes (54%), and self-constructed graphs (32%). This suggested to the authors that SBSW in Louisiana are practicing in a way that is consistent with Standard Decision Making and Practice Evaluation, which emphasizes datadriven decision making.…”

Industries are increasingly taking advantage of the access provided in the digital age to use data to inform business and practice-based decision making. The profession of social work has recently called for social workers to become more data-driven, through its Grand Challenge to leverage technology such as data-driven decision making for social good. School-Based Social Workers, who often work in educational contexts that demand they collect and use data are being asked to figure out ways to engage data to help promote evidence-informed practices and process level changes. Using a scoping review, this article looks at the state of the current literature on how this process is evolving. This information can help set the stage for a framework for the systematic application of data in social work settings.
