The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) provides leadership in social work education through faculty development, research, and accreditation of baccalaureate and master's social work programs. As of February 2012, 689 social work programs were accredited by CSWE. These programs represent an estimated 7,500 faculty members and 82,000 students at the baccalaureate and master's levels. CSWE promotes continued educational innovation and relevancy through setting accreditation standards, which are regularly revised by volunteer representatives from the social work education and practice community and approved by the CSWE Board of Directors.

Work Education

The literature on client violence against social workers calls for social work education programs to teach students how to protect themselves and minimize the risk of verbal and physical harm. Although the social work literature cites examples of content that should be taught, there is little information on whether safety education is covered in academic programs and, if so, what exactly is taught. This study focused on nineteen baccalaureate programs and determined the extent to which they teach safety education. The study also identified the minimum safety education content that should be taught in baccalaureate social work programs.

Students enrolled or interested in baccalaureate social work programs with a rural focus have access to scant research-based resources to consult for career and educational advice. This study explores open-ended advice provided by a nonprobability sample of BSW alumni (N=120). Online surveys were solicited from alumni from four different colleges with a rural emphasis. Major themes included the advice to examine areas of the social work field, to obtain a graduate social work degree, to take personal responsibility to assess individual suitability for social work, to expect poor pay and work stressors, and to develop strong self-care defenses.

This article provides an overview of the gatekeeping process, including Council on Social Work Education (CWSE) requirements for gatekeeping, with an emphasis on small baccalaureate social work programs. Gatekeeping criteria, including admission to the social work major, admission to field instruction, and approval for graduation are reviewed. Also, criteria for the development and monitoring of termination policies are highlighted as well as legal considerations relative to due process, program liability, and serving students with disabilities. A sample gatekeeping policy used in one small baccalaureate social work program is provided.

Social work educators are increasingly faced with concerns about students who do not possess the technical standards (basic skills, values, and abilities) of the social work profession. This article discusses the purpose of technical standards, which ensure that social work programs admit, retain, and graduate students who possess the physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral attributes required for success. The history of technical standards, concerns about their use, and the growing need for technical standards are also addressed. Finally, practical advice on developing technical standards for social work education and examples of one university's standards are offered.
