The Future School Psychologists of Ohio: Lessons Learned in Year 2
Schwenn, Ashley E.; Hanes, Caitlyn M.; Bernstein, Elana R.
Communique, v51 n3 p10-11 Nov 2022
Among the multitude of solutions to the field's ongoing personnel shortage, many state associations have stepped in to commit time and resources to addressing it. One such example is in Ohio, where a joint initiative of the Ohio School Psychologists Association (OSPA) and Ohio's Inter-University Council of School Psychology programs, known as the Future School Psychologists of Ohio (FSPO), is now beginning its third year of implementation. As a follow-up to an article published in "Communiqué last September" (Bernstein et al., 2021) (EJ1306710), in this article, the FSPO leadership team would like to share the outcomes of the initiative and present a set of lessons learned for those across the country interested in replicating the club in their state. The aims of FSPO are to spread awareness and garner the interest and early commitment of students to the field of school psychology by providing members related educational and professional outreach opportunities and by recruiting students from minoritized backgrounds to the field. FSPO's mission is grounded in the notion that establishing an early exposure and meaningful connection with the field and easy access to related mentoring opportunities is important and largely missing from many shortage initiatives (Bernstein et al., 2021).
