Abstract

The education system is a key contributor in preparing children to be future leaders in society, yet current educational standards have failed to adequately address mental health and social justice issues that students face. School leadership positions have historically been reserved for seasoned teachers; however, with the proper training and certifications, social workers may be equipped to lead schools beyond providing social services. U.S. public K–12 education leaders across the nation are recognizing that students’ needs are best understood by looking to their social environment, which has been a major principal in the field of social work for decades. Therefore, hiring social workers as school administrators is a considerable option to cultivate improved academic and social–emotional outcomes through school- and districtwide leadership.

作为学校管理者的社会工作者：美国公共教育体系的新视角

教育系统是培养儿童成为未来社会领袖的关键因素，但目前的教育标准未能充分解决学生面临的心理健康和社会正义问题。学校领导职位历来是为经验丰富的教师保留的；然而，通过适当的培训和认证，社会工作者可能有能力领导学校，而不仅仅是提供社会服务。美国K-12公共教育领导人认识到，学生的需求最好通过关注他们的社会环境来理解，几十年来，社会环境一直是社会工作领域的主要原则。因此，聘请社会工作者担任学校管理人员是一个相当大的选择，可以通过学校和学区的领导来培养更好的学术和社会情感成果。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
