A request from Chana Witty, M.S.Ed., School Psychology Doctoral Student at Georgian Court University:

I am reaching out to see if you can help me with my dissertation study. My research focuses on school psychologists’ dyslexia and literacy knowledge. As such, I need currently-practicing school psychologists to complete a brief, anonymous survey on dyslexia and literacy along with answering some demographic questions. If you can volunteer approximately ten minutes of your time to help me complete this project, it would be greatly appreciated. In addition to allowing me to complete my doctoral training, this study will hopefully benefit the field of school psychology and the students we service.

A request from Drs. Dave Shriberg, Celeste Malone, and Lisa Kelly-Vance:

Are you a practitioner who is interested in providing your opinions related to bringing social justice principles into school psychology practice? While NASP has identified social justice as one of its five strategic goals, there is a lack of research on what social justice does or might look like in practice, from the perspective of current US practitioners. A research team from Howard University, Indiana University, and the University of Nebraska-Omaha have collaborated to create the Social Justice and School Psychology Practice Survey based on the NASP Practice Model in order to address this gap. Survey participants will be asked to rate 38 practices both in terms of the extent to which they feel each item is part of the role of the school psychologist and then in terms of how frequently they engage in these same 38 actions as practitioners. There is also a question about whether you would be willing to be interviewed in order to learn more about your perspectives on school psychology and social justice. If you indicate that you are willing to be interviewed, you would be contacted by a research team member.

Inclusion Criteria: NASP member who is currently practicing in schools as a school psychologist at least part-time

Time commitment: 15-20 minutes

Compensation: No compensation will be given for completing the survey

If you are eligible and willing to complete the survey, please follow this link.
