The shortage of school psychologists is apparent at all levels of the profession. The Diplomate, awarded by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), is the highest credential a practitioner can receive, yet few professional psychologists aspire to this high goal. The diploma and the examination process are described. The implications of the standards espoused by the Diplomate examination process are explored for school psychology. Given that these standards are higher than entry level, it is expected that the quality of services offered to children would increase. The incorporation of evidence-based practice in routine school psychological service would be facilitated in that the ABPP practice sample standards are consistent with evidence-based practice, providing a model for its implementation in the school setting.
