The social worker focused on some of the core issues that are occurring in Renee life. I agree with the social worker PIE assessment, but there were some other factors that the social worker did not address such as: Renee physical environment (her community) and does any of her community environment play a role. Also, the social worker could explore the discrimination that African American face due their race and is there more occurring at school and/ or personal life that is contributing to Rene behavior in school. Also, the social worker could explore the new set of challenges attending the new school has in comparison to her old school, such as educational level and demands are more challenging for Renee and adaptation to a new environment
