This article examines the challenges facing teacher and social worker cross-disciplinary collaboration. A case study methodology was used to research a particular model of health promotion, the St Paul's Model ('the Model'). The Model, comprising of twelve student wellbeing programs ranging from prevention to restoring resilience programs, included input from social work students undertaking their field education practicum. This article argues that social workers have a place in the school context but to have legitimacy, purpose, and ultimate success in contributing to health promotion, cross-disciplinary approaches must be clearly embedded, articulated and profiled in school processes and policies. The research presented in this article is part of a bigger PhD project whose aims was to research a particular model of teaching and social work collaboration which sought to formalise its health promotion structures.

“…For example, strong principal leadership, high levels of trust and strong working relationships among school staff, the extent to which staff hold high expectations and show strong support for students, the extent to which staff are oriented toward learning and innovation, and the extent to which staff are engaged with parents and the school community are associated with growth in student achievement (Bryk, Sebring, Allensworth, Luppescu, & Easton, 2009;Cosner, 2009;Hoy, Tarter, & Hoy, 2006). Importantly, school social workers have been argued to strongly contribute to school reform efforts, particularly in terms of their critical role in building such school resources (e.g., in strengthening parent, school, and community ties; Lewis, 1998;Teasley, 2004).…”

Research on Social Work Practice

This study capitalizes on the gradual introduction of learning support professionals (LSPs; e.g., school social workers) into an urban school district's elementary schools (n ¼ 71) between 2001-2002 and 2008-2009. The time series allowed for a schoollevel investigation of associations between the presence of LSPs and aggregate school achievement utilizing fixed-effects methodology. Schools with an LSP in a given year, as well as the cumulative years in which a school had an LSP, were both positively associated with the percentage of students who scored at or above proficient in reading achievement on the California Standards Test and were negatively associated with the cumulative number of years a school was in program improvement status, but not associated with mathematics achievement. Findings suggest that school social workers function as a school resource and indicate the utility of fixed-effects methodology in assessing the impact of social work services in schools.
