New article: ASWB made troubling changes to its exam process.
Then it misinformed examinees about those changes.

New #StopASWB publication on @socarxiv.bsky.social.
Using care ethics and data equity to address the issue of a licensing examination developer removing scored items for biased functioning without updating the cut score in impacted score reports.

Hearing on the fate of social work’s racist ASWB exam in MD at 1 pm. I realize this is a niche issue. Happy to post a link if anyone wants to attend virtually and let them know we’re watching and want them to #stopASWB.
Yep! Paddy Farr and I are working on the #StopASWB advocacy toolkit to abolish ASWB exams. Should be ready in a few weeks.
When we talk about #StopASWB people hem & haw about devaluing the profession.
Yet say nothing about unpaid internships. Nor our National Professional Org exploiting our labor by charging us to work.
Other professions pay me to present, why doesn't NASW pay social workers for their labor?
#StopASWB Advocacy toolkit coming after winter break!
Well would you look at that. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker in British Columbia who passed the ASWB test is a QAnon cult leader and has to have license revoked.
Tell me again how we should put all our faith in an unvalidated racist test?

I cannot wait for this. As someone who has also experienced ASWB's behavior and attacks first hand we need more accountability.
#StopASWB.
Luckily many of the #StopASWB folks are already here. We still fighting and ready on almost every platform.
Fingers crossed for Michigan to soon join us in starting to hold ASWB accountable and establish alternatives.
^_^
That NASW tried censoring #StopASWB advocates at the Journal of Social Work was pretty well-known.
New, CSWE censoring #Payments4Placements *discussion and conclusions* at the Journal of Social Work Education.
This only affirms my advice to avoid JSWE

Finally starting to find more of the #SocialWork and #MentalHealth and #Therapist folks on here.
I was MentalWoke on Twitter for anyone who is unsure.
We still about Liberation, Decolonization and #StopASWB
And of course gaming, trauma, identity, and community organizing.

I'm on the newest episode of Kim Young (aka Dope Black Social Worker)'s Revolutionary Hoodrat podcast talking about #StopASWB.
#SocialWork
Very grateful to Kim and excellent co-panelist Jen Hirsch!!!

Two new #StopASWB papers up on @socarxivbot.bsky.social.
opensocialwork.org/2024/10/15/t...
First, why ASWB are "uniquely biased" when compared to other standardized exams.
Second, why ASWB's regulatory research & grantmaking will never address psychometric validity.
#SocialWork #DEI
Two journal submissions! #StopASWB work finally getting published out!
It is wild to me how opposed to changes towards liberation many many social workers are.
It's clear that too few in the profession actually take the ethic to keep reading research and to advocate for social justice seriously.
*Sigh*

#StopASWB
ASWB profit margins have been 9-30% every year. They now have $40 million for literally no reason!
Paying their new doctorally-trained, Black female COO less than half of our their outgoing old white male COO
Chart. Profit margins up to 29%. 40+ million in net assets. More repeat test-takers every year.
I bring a *very* twitter energy to LinkedIn. Very much enjoying spiking the vibe.

oooo. syllabus????
I have a ZTC syllabus I use (we subscribe to Reamer's book)
I'm also writing an ethics case study on #StopASWB , data equity, and care ethics.
Very excited to announce that I won a small internal grant for the Arrupe Center for Ethics. This summer, I'm going to write an ethics case study in #SocialWork addressing #StopASWB and the many ethical issues around unfair and invalid licensing exams.
Our Article has been published!!!
Jen Hirsch ,Matthew DeCarlo, Alexandria Lewis and I put a lot into this piece to contribute to the literature to #StopASWB.
