  Abstract
A complete and mindfully developed blueprint for implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) in social work should include a full complement of coordinated goals and strategies for all stakeholders, including future social workers. To this end, schools of social work should teach students to be lifelong learners; teach students what is currently known and not known about the efficacy and effectiveness of social work practices and programs; teach students to be knowledgeable and skillful with the empirically supported practices in their area of specialty; teach current practitioners new knowledge and skills through evidence-based continuing education programs. This article describes these strategies and draws on examples from the classroom and a pilot training project designed to support EBP in social work agencies.
