Such an important conversation. Its a symptom of a larger problem, which is that our society doesn’t value the labor of social workers. As it is, agencies can barely afford to pay their full-time staff living wages.

[Shimon Cohen @ShimonDCohen]

Hey #SocialWorkTwitter! There is a growing movement to address the need for PAID social work internships! We are looking for BSWs & MSWs who are willing to talk about what it was like to have to do an unpaid internship on top of life & school & work. Please DM me if interested!

I first read bell hooks in a theory of religion class during my junior year of college. I couldn’t get over the genius of her work because of its accessibility and profoundness. She has forever changed everyone who has read her work.

[Lexington Herald-Leader @heraldleader]

Author and activist bell hooks may have lived and died in Berea, Kentucky, but her intellectual influence was felt by people across the globe. https://t.co/7EF0H2DZeE

2. #nasw supports workplace requirements that employees be fully vaccinated against #COVID19 or regularly tested: https://t.co/FB6hEHUeeQ

[NASW @nasw]

1. #nasw strongly urges #socialworkers be fully vaccinated & receive boosters as recommended by @CDCgov. Social workers should be leaders in boosting #COVID19 vaccinations. https://t.co/FB6hEHUeeQ

Terrific video on how to properly wear a mask from @AustinEastHS. Remember, if you’re not wearing a mask properly, it’s like not wearing one at all 😷

[Austin-East HS @AustinEastHS]

We are ready for our students! Follow our Twitter account to see new expectations for this year. First, let’s talk about those masks. Let’s be safe and stay healthy!

[Jordan Frye Shields @jfshields7]

Having a collaborative aftercare provider on-site at our school provides invaluable continuity of care for our working families. Here’s our awesome Norwood @bgctnv director repping our @norwoodtigers swag earlier this week:

On #WorldKindnessDay, remember that you won’t regret recognizing the humanity in others.

[Sara Harris @saraharris70]

Thanks to @norwoodtigers’ partnership with @McClungMuseum, our Fossil Fest was a great success!

[Jordan Frye Shields @jfshields7]

They rocked it, and we had some great innovations!

[Jordan Frye Shields @jfshields7]

In my Intro to Macro Practice class last night I had my students complete a 90-minute design project using the Design Thinking process. My observation was that many students never associated social work with creativity or innovation. #macrosw

[Jordan Frye Shields @jfshields7]

Our 2nd graders had a great time at the Muse learning about bats and enjoying all the STEM and maker activities! #grrreatnNES

[Jordan Frye Shields @jfshields7]

And shoutout to Hannah from @knoxart for doing an exploding painting activity—it was a big hit!

[Jordan Frye Shields @jfshields7]

Great evening celebrating #NationalNightOut with the Norwood Community Association. Our friends from @WallaceKnox served up hot dogs, families enjoyed games and meeting their neighbors, and we celebrated Officer Eric Parks as Officer Liaison of the Year!

[Jordan Frye Shields @jfshields7]

Loved seeing @ToriSensing and @charity_Elliott representing our @norwoodtigers staff!
