| Abstract | ||||
| This research aimed to develop contemporary skills among school social workers through training, to improve their performance amid emerging problems. The skills chosen were namely: managing differences, working through challenges and difficult situations, providing creative solutions to problems, and using modern technology. The researcher adopted a quasi-experimental approach in conducting a training program targeting thirty-eight social workers in preparatory and secondary schools in Helwan. Trainees received thirty hours of training, using diverse training methods, followed by three months of field support to ensure smooth application of skills. The researcher used a tailored scale for measuring skills development among social workers. The program succeeded in reaching its objective. It is now applicable to practitioners all over Egypt. | ||||
