Summary:
|
Staff recommends approval of this contract to fund tuition for the three lead PPSD School Psychologists to attend the School Neuropsychology Institute to obtain a post-graduate certification. The post-graduate certification would be from August, 2022 through July, 2023. Having the three lead PPSD School Psychologists receive this certification would increase capacity of our district as better serve the needs of our students.
This certification would:
• allow our lead School Psychologists to integrate neuropsychological principles into their professional practice;
• provide our lead School Psychologists with a blend of a knowledge base through a competency-based training in contemporary neuropsychological theory, assessment techniques and evidence based interventions;
• provide our lead School Psychologists with competency based skills in administering and interpreting common neuropsychological instruments for school aged children;
• and provide supervised practice of those new skills. |
