Dear Human Resources,
I am a Master prepared Social Worker with a State of Michigan Macro and Micro Social Work License and I currently practice as a School Social Worker with Oak Park School District in the State of Michigan.
As a School Social Worker, I have had the opportunity to provide services to elementary, middle and high school students who have been diagnosed as having a learning disability, autism spectrum disorder, emotional impairment, cognitive impairment and attention deficit disorder. I am able to establish trusting relationships with the students and their parents while ensuring that each student treatment is adhered on a daily basis.
I am currently involved with improving the social emotional needs of the students at Nova Academy by providing a social-emotional class, Monday-Friday 8:00am-9:00am. This class is taught remotely and various themes are discussed which involves the five competencies:
1.Self-Awareness 2. Self-Management 3. Social Awareness 4. Responsible Decision-Making 5. Relationship Skills.
I currently serve as a board member of The Oak Park Youth Assistance and involved with developing programs that can enhance at-risk youth and their families to work towards establishing a better life.
I have a wealth of experience in the field of Social Work within the area of administration and supervision of residential treatment programs. The treatment programs were for juvenile delinquent youth with psychiatric diagnosis and the developmentally challenged children, youth and adults. In addition, I have had the opportunity to supervise a community based juvenile delinquency program. I have also had the experience of working on adult psychiatric units as a psychiatric social worker conducting treatment planning meetings, discharge planning for patients and a telephonic screener; finding adult psychiatric patients mental health residential placement after being evaluated by the psychiatric for psychiatric care.
As a social worker, I have gained experience in different areas of social work. These experiences have made me well-rounded, knowledgeable and appreciative of the service that I provide for my community. In addition, I learned how to be an educator, a leader and a team builder.
Apart from my daily job as a school social worker, I utilize my skills to help members of my church by conducting seminars in the area of domestic abuse, peer pressure, stress coping mechanisms, substance abuse, marital issues and school and workplace bullies.
My overall education and work experience has prepared me to effectively assess, teach and provide services to individuals from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
I am interested in the area of providing social emotional learning to our students within the Oak Park school district as it will provide a quality way of coping during these critical times within our country and school district as we deal with the impact of Covid-19 on our students and their families.
I have enclosed my resume for your review to discuss employment as a School Social Worker with the Oakland County School District.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Carl Dade, LMSW
