SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAM

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS PERFORMANCE-BASED DOMAINS

A key aspect to the new NASP training standards, and of the companion Standards for the Credentialing of School Psychologists , is the inclusion of performance-based “Domains of School Psychology Training and Practice,” which will guide future performance-based reviews, and outcomes of training for students. In the training standards, each domain is accompanied by an expanded description of school psychology competencies, including relevant professional knowledge and skills. The expanded descriptions serve to clarify the intent of the competency standards, and students will be exposed to the content and goals of the standards as they progress through the program.

The “Domains of School Psychology Training and Practice” contained in the standards are as follows:

• Data-Based Decision-Making and Accountability;
• Consultation and Collaboration;
• Effective Instruction and Development of Cognitive/Academic Skills;
• Socialization and Development of Life Competencies;
• Student Diversity in Development and Learning;
• School and Systems Organization, Policy Development and Climate;
• Prevention, Crisis Intervention, and Mental Health;
• Home/School/Community Collaboration;
• Research and Program Evaluation;
• School Psychology Practice and Development;
• Information Technology.

In order to attain NASP program “approval” (and NCATE “nationally recognized program” status, if in an in situation/unit accredited by NCATE), programs will have to document that they address, assess and attain (in candidates/graduates) the competencies outlined in the “Domains.”
