Which of the following organizations is NOT listed as contributing to basic guidelines for administration and supervision in school social work?

• A. School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA)
• B. National Association of Social Workers (NASW)
• C. Illinois Association of School Social Workers (IASSW)
• D. American Counseling Association (ACA)

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is which professional bodies provide the guidelines used for administering and supervising school social work. In this area, organizations that focus specifically on social work in educational settings shape those standards: the School Social Work Association of America offers practice guidelines and resources for how school-based programs are run and supervised; the National Association of Social Workers provides ethics and professional guidelines that influence supervision across all settings, including schools; and state or local associations like the Illinois Association of School Social Workers contribute by adapting and promoting best practices for supervision within their jurisdictions. The American Counseling Association, while central to counselors, does not specialize in school social work administration or supervision guidelines, so it isn’t listed as contributing to those guidelines.
