To more precisely contextualize pass rates by analyzing the systemic factors that influence exam outcomes, ASWB partnered with Joy Kim, MSW, Ph.D., of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

In January 2023, ASWB began partnering with FifthTheory, a minority-owned firm with expertise in high-stakes testing and occupational assessment. ASWB has decided to expand the offering all registered candidates.

The mission of ASWB is to provide support and services to the social work regulatory community to advance safe, competent, and ethical practices to strengthen public protection.

ASWB is the nonprofit organization composed of and owned by the social work regulatory boards and colleges of all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and all 10 Canadian provinces.

One highlight of the 2024 ASWB Education Meeting was playing FACTUALITY, an interactive board game created and facilitated by keynote speaker Natalie Gillard. This two-part immersive experience was designed to enhance attendees’ awareness of how race, class, gender, faith, sexual orientation, ability, and age can affect outcomes in people’s lives.
