Social Services Managers
-
Social Services Managers (SSMs) support students and families who experience barriers to school success. SSMs strive to connect home, school, and community resources. They serve students and their families to improve educational, social and vocational outcomes.
SSMs promote school stability and success through partnerships with educators, families, students, and communities. They collaborate with schools and families to identify the students’ needs, develop strategic interventions and implement plans to enhance social emotional wellbeing and improve academic performance.
