Iread your School Social Work text over the summer and shared itwith my colleagues during our convocation today. I wanted to let you know how much this book impressed us for notonly its comprehensiveness, but also in its potential as a resourcefor articulating our role within our district. I have beenimplemented the "school survival" curriculum during the firstmarking period of this year. The book has served as an ongoingreference for many other facets of school work practice. Thank youso much for providing such a useful and significant tool. As youknow, it can be very isolative and challenging for social workersin education. --William Mecca, LCSW, LADC, New Canaan Public Schools
