WV Social Worker of the Year

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The West Virginia Social Worker of the Year is a man
who very much works at the center of his community. Gary McDaniel, named
for the distinction by the West Virginia Chapter of the national
Association of Social Workers, is the social worker for the seven
schools in rural Morgan County, where the schools are the largest
employer. He says it's an endless job, but he likes working with the
children, which means he ends up being connected to the entire
community.

"It's one thing to affect the life of the child, but it's a whole
'nother order of change when we're working not only with the child, but
all that family and community that surrounds them."

He says in the ten years he's been with the schools since moving back
where he grew up, he's found himself doing a lot of community
organizing, trying to put programs in place that ease problems before
they get to his desk.

McDaniel says some of the successful things that have been done in the
schools reach out into the community - like having students and their
parents taking classes together in things like nutrition. And he cites a
different program that takes elementary-level students who were too
disruptive to keep in class and puts them on a more flexible schedule
that helps address problems they might have at home.

"We have students who literally couldn't be managed in regular
classroom, who are now functioning not only in school, but in school in
the regular classroom environment."

McDaniel says he's learned a lot about conflict management and will be
teaching a workshop on it in Morgantown August 26 and 27. He says one
key is focusing less on what you're trying to say and more on what the
other person is saying.

"Listen with all your might. If you really, really listen, the seed of
the solution is always present in the conflict."

Social workers say the goal is to deal with a person in the context of
their family and community.=20
