Going Digital to Address the School Psychologist Shortage
McCleary, Daniel F.; Clark, Frankie J.; Dawes, Jillian; Flowers, Jaime M.; Ellis-Hervey, Nina
Contemporary School Psychology, v26 n1 p34-42 Mar 2022
Given the shortage of school psychologists, especially in rural areas, school psychology programs are beginning to emerge that provide students with the opportunity to attend classes through distance education (DE) methods (i.e., virtually). Despite many school psychology students and faculty holding negative perceptions of DE methods, the use of DE is expanding within the field of school psychology. This article provides an overview of existing DE programs and existing DE research, specific to school psychology, followed by a brief history of a DE option at Stephen F. Austin State University that began in Fall 2018. Solutions to common issues encountered with DE are also presented.
