Clinically Intensive Preservice Preparation: Opportunities and Challenges of Blended Training
Roberts-Pittman, Bridget; Nellis, Leah; Krug, Damon
International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, v6 n1 Jan-Mar 2011
The need for school psychologists across the county has reached critical levels. In addition, faculty positions for those training school psychologists are going unfilled. With such an identified need, training programs play a key role in closing the gap. In order to address this need in Indiana, the authors, with support for the Indiana Department of Education, developed the Indiana Training Alternative for School Psychology (ITASP) program. The program allows current educators to continue their employment in an educational setting while pursuing their Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in school psychology. This article represents a reflection of the successes and challenges the authors met after implementation of the program for a two-year period. (Contains 1 footnote.)
