MSW Alexa Lenhart 2022 Agency Name: Muhlenberg School District Profile: I am Alexa Lenhart, pursuing my Master of Social Work at Kutztown University. This semester I am placed at the Muhlenberg School District Junior High. Social workers are newly emerging into the school setting and much of my work pertains to establishing the roles and responsibilities of a social work professional in the educational environment. Field Placement Responsibilities: As an intern at the MSD Junior High, I will be participating in a variety of tasks and functioning in many different capacities. I will provide direct services to students including crisis intervention, needs assessment, conflict resolution, and emotion regulation. I will also be serving as a schoolto-community liaison, as well as referring students and families to school and community-based resources. I will provide education to faculty and staff to support positive behavior and improved academic achievement. I will work directly and indirectly with students, families, faculty, and staff through a practice perspective that empowers individuals by way of family support and preservation. Future Goals: Once I graduate with my MSW, I wish to begin my career in the school setting. As a school social worker, I hope to improve the lives of students and families by meeting their diverse needs. Department of Social Work
