It is an example of his commitment to doing what is right for students. I found the sections on assessment and the IEP process particularly enlightening. This book would be an informative read for any individual involved in the IEP process..” - William Shupe, M.A., NPS Principal“Dr. Turner has written a comprehensive book that can save many interns, first year school psychologists, and even seasoned veterans valuable time if his strategies are utilized. Many people (professionals too) confuse activity with being successful and effective. However, many school psychologists are so busy running from meeting to meeting and are in “stomping out fires” mode and the day is over before they knew it started. They are very active, but not very effective. Dr. Turner shows us how planned activity and organization are effective. Dr. turner provides us with a common sense model of how to learn good professional habits and make them a part of our professional and daily life.” - Roger McCoy, PPS school psychologist for Riverside County SELPA“This book is very thorough and innovative in the progressive future of school psychology.

Download or read book We Cuss a Little written by Kevin Creager and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Kevin Creager started his career as a school psychologist in Ohio, little did he know the way parents answered the questions on the developmental history forms could tell him more about his students than the actual answers to the questions themselves. For instance, when asked "What language is spoken in the home?" one family answered, "We cuss a little." Creager realized answers such as this held the key to understanding his students' home lives-so he spent the next thirty years recognizing and collecting these gems. In We Cuss a Little, Creager compiles over thirty years' worth of stories, anecdotes, and observations gathered while working as school psychologist. Far from a philosophical treatise on education or a dry rendering of the subject, Creager's stories share the struggles and triumphs of real school employees and the children and families with which they work. Creager believes that, more than test scores, report card grades, or special education labels, these parents' answers, and the stories behind them, can give educators a much better understanding of what really goes on in the lives of the children they serve.

Download or read book Ethics and Law for School Psychologists written by Susan Jacob and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics and Law for School Psychologists is the single best source of authoritative information on the ethical and legal issues school psychologists face every day. Designed specifically to meet the unique needs of psychologists in school settings, this book includes the most up-to-date standards and requirements while providing an introduction to ethical codes, ethical decision making, and the legal underpinnings that protect the rights of students and their parents. This new seventh edition has been extensively updated with the latest research and changes to the law, with an increased focus on ethical-legal considerations associated with the use of digital technologies. Coverage includes new case law on privacy rights, electronic record keeping, the 2014 Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, digital assessment platforms, the latest interpretations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and more. Ethics texts for counseling and psychology are plentiful, and often excellent—but this book is the only reference that speaks directly to the concerns and issues specific to psychologists in school settings. Case vignettes, end-of-chapter questions, and discussion topics facilitate deeper insight and learning, while updated instructor's resources bring this key reference right into the classroom. Keeping up with the latest research and legal issues is a familiar part of a psychologist's duties, but a practice centered on children in an educational setting makes it both critical and more complex. Ethics and Law for School Psychologists provides a central resource for staying up to date and delivering ethically and legally sound services within a school setting.
