Uses and Implications of Psychological Testing in Social Work

SW614, Section 002

This course will cover a range of types of testing including cognitive, learning, projective, rating scales, and behavioral assessment approaches. In addition to formal psychological testing, the course will also discuss an array of assessment approaches that are relevant to serving as a school social worker. Because SW 614 fulfills a requirement for eligibility to become a school social worker, the primary emphasis of this course will be on learning testing and assessment information that will be useful in working in the public schools as a school social worker.
