    To me to intervene in practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities means social workers know about evidence-based interventions to help achieve the goals of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities they work with.

This will show ELL students that educators not only care about their education, but want to involve their first language into the classroom as well.…
