The NASP 2010 Model for Comprehensive and Integrated School Psychological Services: How it Benefits Practitioners
Presenter: Rhonda J. Armistead, M.S., NCSP
This session will introduce the NASP Model for Comprehensive and Integrated School Psychological Services, a.k.a. the NASP Practice Model. NASP’s new model of school psychological services defines the services of school psychologists in a manner that meets the needs of 21st century schools. Conference participants will understand the benefits of having a national model and learn practical strategies for promoting the model within your district. In addition, you will learn how to assess your personal professional strengths, your professional development needs, as well as how to use the Model as an advocacy tool.
Advances in Evaluating the Performance of a School Psychologist
Presenter: Julie Q. Morrison, Ph.D.
School psychologists are expected to “integrate knowledge and professional skills across the 10 domains of school psychology in delivering a comprehensive range of professional practice that result in direct, measurable outcomes for children, families, schools and/or other consumers,” according to one of six principles outlined by the 2010 NASP Standards. This renewed call for school psychologists to demonstrate accountability in the evaluation of services at the individual, group, and system levels comes at a time when school districts nationally are pursuing personnel evaluation models that link teachers’ instructional practices to student achievement. School psychologists have an opportunity to take a leadership role in determining how the impact of their service delivery will be evaluated. The purpose of this presentation is to: (a) describe recent research on evaluating school psychological services using singlecase designs and summary statistics, and (b) describe the advantages and disadvantages of a rubric-based approach for evaluating school psychological services.
