DISCUSSION BOARD
This page provides an opportunity for you to network with school social workers from around the state.
ISSWA maintains a separate protected web site at Nicenet.org that will enable school social workers across Iowa to share ideas and respond to questions. Nicenet is a free service for educators that can be used to facilitate on-going conversations among students and educators. We use the ISSWA discussion board to share ideas about practice, policy, and events that are of interest to school social workers.
