Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature in the field of school psychology suggests that the role of the school psychologist has been primarily as a person who conducts assessments for the special education population but that school psychologists desire to be engaged in additional services, such as prevention and direct intervention. Influences on the role of school psychologist may include: perceptions of consumer groups, the power and influence of the school principal and special education legislation. A qualitative study was conducted to obtain the perceptions of principals, as an individual consumer group, about current and desired school psychological services, as well as potential barriers to expanding the role. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten elementary school principals in Central/Northern New Jersey and the data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and Classical Content Analysis. Results suggested that principals perceived assessment to be the primary activity of the school psychologist and that many school psychologists were also involved in consultative activities, or served as a resource to staff and families. Most of the principals in this study expressed a desire for additional services, such as providing training to parents and staff, as well as having the school psychologist have more direct contact with students. The envisioned role was also seen as preventative rather than reactive with increased flexibility and increased visibility in the school. The perceived barriers to expanding the role of the school psychologist that were reported were time and financial constraints, as well as legislation. Principals in this study did not view themselves as being a critical influence in defining the role of the school psychologist. They suggested that school psychologists make a plan and approach the administration with recommendations of how to expand their services in the school. In order to facilitate this, training programs could place a greater emphasis on preparing school psychologists for the role of providing training and psycho-education, as well as preparing them for collaboration with administrators and other stakeholders in the school.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The role of the school psychologist has been in a state of flux for decades. Surveys have shown that teachers would like school psychologists to continue the duties of traditional assessment, while school psychologists would like to diversify their assessment duties to activities related more to prereferral, prevention and intervention (Franklin, 1995; Hartshorne & Johnson, 1985; Leach, 1985; Watkins, Crosby & Pearson, 2001). One hundred seventy-three special- and regular-education teachers from six elementary schools (labeled as either "traditional" or "progressive," according to school psychologists' self-reports) were given a questionnaire based on the National Association of School Psychologist (NASP) extended principles. Results indicate that there were neither significant differences between how special-education teachers and regular- education teachers rated their school psychologist, nor were there any significant differences between how teachers rated their school psychologist relevant to working in a traditional or progressive school. Implications and recommendations for the school- psychology profession are discussed"--Document.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that various leadership styles have different impacts on leader outcomes such as satisfaction, extra effort, and effectiveness. Specifically, researchers have found that transformational leadership positively impacts follower perceptions of satisfaction, extra effort, and leader effectiveness (Avolio, Bass, & lung, 1995; Philbin, 1997; Yammarino, Spangler, & Bass, 1993). However, research has shown that not all leaders display transformational leadership. In fact, Eagly, Karau, & lohnson (1992) and their colleagues have shown transformational leadership in education to be linked to the extent to which male and female principals carry out their gender roles - referring to role congruity. Currently, not much is known empirically about the relationship between the role of the elementary school principal leadership and gender roles and its combined effects on teachers' perceived satisfaction, perceived effectiveness of their principals, and their assessment of extra effort put forth towards their job. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between leadership style (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) and psychological gender role group (masculine, feminine, undifferentiated, androgynous) of elementary school principals. Exploration of this topic filled a void in empirical investigations of the psychological gender perspective of school leadership. Multivariate Analysis of Variance techniques were used to examine the relationships between and among principal psychological gender role, biological gender, principal effectiveness, teacher satisfaction, and teacher extra effort. Additionally, canonical correlation was used to examine the relationship between leadership factor variable set and psychological gender role variable set. Results detected one relationship exists between psychological gender role and leadership behavior variable sets. Specifically, findings suggest femininity, masculinity, idealized influence attribute, idealized influence behavior, inspiration-motivation, intellection stimulation, individual consideration, contingent reward, and laissez-faire provide the best linear combinations of Pearson correlations between the leadership behavior and psychological gender role variable sets. In addition, results indicated statistically significant differences in perceived principal effectiveness, teacher perceived satisfaction, and teacher extra effort based on teacher perceived level of principal psychological gender. Teachers who perceived their principals as androgynous and feminine reported higher levels of extra effort, satisfaction, and principal effectiveness. Leadership behavior did not appear to have a significant influence on extra effort, satisfaction, and principal effectiveness. Additionally, the interaction effect between perceived principal psychological gender role group and principal biological gender was not statistically significant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A regional sample of practicing school administrators including superintendents, special education directors, and principals responded to a questionnaire measuring their perception of seventeen job functions of school psychologists as they perceive them to be and they think they should be. The questionnaires were analyzed by rank ordering the actual and preferred role and function means and using a t test to make inferences about the difference between means with independent groups. The independent variables are the administrators and the dependent variables are the seventeen job functions. Responses (31%) to the questionnaire suggested that school administrators perceive school psychologist actual job functions to be report writing and IQ testing. The administrators perceptions of the job functions school psychologists should be performing are IQ testing, parent consultations, and teacher consultations. Implications for the school psychology field are discussed"--Document.
