Summer reading list
Looking for some light reading to toss into your beach tote? Something engrossing for that long flight to Fiji? A literary masterpiece to stretch out with next to the campfire? As usual, ACE has got you covered!
1)
ACE Handbook As refreshing as a tall, twisty, soft-serve cone, this gem is packed with program requirements and standards for the ACE program, updated in April 2019. What do the reviews say? Jamie from Minnesota gave it five stars. “Who wouldn’t want to see all the juicy details about meeting ACE standards gathered in one place?”
2)
NASW Code of Ethics A slim volume that’s perfect for an afternoon by the pool, this quick read is filled with information on ethical standards for social workers. “You can’t put this down once you start. I couldn’t sleep at all, just thinking about how to apply what I’d learned!” Guillermo from New York raved after reading this classic.
3)
CASW Code of Ethics A must-read companion to No. 2 on our list, take this one along on your flight to Montreal. As Claude remarked after reading it, “
Ce pas comme si c’etait la poutine mais c’est bon!”

Important? Yes. CE credit? No.
Anyone who has gotten poison ivy after a hike, been stung by a bee while mowing the yard, or twisted an ankle playing beach volleyball knows the value of first aid training. ASWB ACE agrees! Trainings in topics like first aid and CPR, however, must not be offered for ACE credit.
ASWB also recognizes the importance of self-care for social workers, including such practices as stress management, meditation, journaling, exercising, getting enough sleep, and taking time off. Nevertheless, ASWB ACE credit must not be offered for courses geared to practitioner self-care or personal growth and development. See Standard 4.1 – Acceptable topics in the
ACE Handbook for more information.
