From Numbers to Narrative: A Guide to Data-Driven School Social Work

NASW ME Virtual Workshop

Date and time: Monday, December 8 · 8:45am - 12pm EST
Location: Online

This workshop will clarify how school social workers can effectively use data, demonstrating its power as a tool to support their work. We'll explore practical ways to gather, analyze, and present data and how to use this information to identify trends, customize interventions, and demonstrate the impact of their services to school administrators and stakeholders. The session will emphasize simple methods and tools, and feature case examples to illustrate how to transform data into a compelling story—a skill we refer to as "data storytelling."

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will be able to identify at least three types of data they can collect to inform their practice.
Participants will be able to create a basic visual representation (e.g., a simple chart or graph) of data to demonstrate impact.
Participants will be able to articulate the value of using data to secure resources or advocate for new programs

Robert Lucio, PhD, LCSW, has over 18 years of experience working directly with youth “at-risk” of adverse behavioral, academic, and mental health outcomes. Dr. Lucio has also consulted with local school districts to enhance social workers use of evidence informed interventions, advocacy, and has been actively involved school behavioral health. He is experienced at developing models of risk and protective factors in youth, provided trainings on advocacy, data informed decision making, and diversity, equity, and access.

Dr. Lucio has over 30 years of experience and research supporting youth facing heightened vulnerability to behavioral, academic, and mental health impacts. He consults with schools and districts to enhance the use of data-informed decision-making, evidence-informed interventions, advocacy, and school-based behavioral health. Findings of his work demonstrated that many of the same risk and protective factors have an impact across youth well-being, child development, and school settings, making the investigation of these factors crucial to the development and evaluation of interventions to support youth. Recently, he has published and presented on engaging in policy change through building the capacity for advocacy, the role of the school mental health provider, data-informed decision-making in school behavioral health, and mental health in schools.
