| Seeking Subject Matter Experts |
|
The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) is looking for social work subject matter experts interested in participating in the meeting that will recommend the passing standards for new social work licensing examinations to be released in 2011. This meeting will bring together social workers from across the U.S. and Canada to focus on the demonstration of social work competency through the examination process.
Appointed members will be required to attend a 2-day meeting in northern Virginia that could begin as early as the morning of Thursday, April 15, 2010, or as late as the morning of Friday, April 16. All travel, meal, and lodging expenses will be paid by ASWB.
Applicants appointed to this project will be helping to review the examinations now being developed as a result of the most recent social work practice analysis conducted by ASWB. Attendees will review examinations and participate in discussions about the expected competency levels of social workers in the United States and Canada. Finally, recommendations to the ASWB Board of Directors will be developed regarding the establishment of passing standards for the social work licensing examinations used across the United States and in Canada.
Appointment to this important group will be based on level and areas of practice, with overall composition balanced for gender, race, ethnic, practice, educational, and geographic diversity. Individuals with prior experience on a non exam-related ASWB committee are strongly encouraged to apply for consideration.
Applicants must have a degree in social work (BSW, MSW, DSW, Ph.D), hold a currently-valid social work license, and be practicing social work, which includes social work education.
To be considered for this project, applicants must complete a brief demographic questionnaire and submit a resume or vitae to lharless@aswb.org. The questionnaire can be found at www.aswb.org
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2010.
All successful applicants will be required to sign confidentiality agreements regarding the ASWB examinations and examination program. Appointments to this project will be announced the week of March 1, 2010.
