You Are Not Just an Early Career School Psychologist. You Are a Leader!
Sussman-Dawson, Katya; Shanock, Andrew; Perkins, Catherine
Communique, v51 n3 p12-13 Nov 2022
As a new academic year beings, teachers, children, and families have a high level of excitement and angst. Many look forward to getting back into a regular routine, being with friends, being in the classroom, and being part of a larger community. However, it is known that many routines were and continue to be disrupted by COVID-19: mental health issues in children are on the rise, and too many students have fallen behind academically and socially. Leadership within schools is more important than ever, and it is a role that school psychologists can proudly take on. Leadership can take on many forms and can occur at all different stages of a career. This article is designed to provide guidance and support for the early career school psychologist on how to exhibit and build their leadership skills. This article contains information as to how to readily get involved at the local, state, and national levels to further hone leadership skills. Lastly, the authors will introduce and encourage the reader to take advantage of the many resources offered by the NASP Leadership Development Committee (LDC), whose main mission is to develop leadership skills of school psychologists, as well as recruit and identify potential leaders.
