California has one of the largest populations of multilingual learners (MLs) in the United States (California Department of Education [CDE], 2020; 2021). These MLs have unique strengths and needs, which require school psychologists to have specialized training (Gonzalez et al., 2022; Harris et al., 2021). However, few school psychology training programs in California and across the U.S. provide an avenue for candidates to distinguish themselves as competent bilingual school psychologists. A group of school psychology faculty across California established the California Consortium for Bilingual School Psychology (CCBSP) to address this disparity. This article outlines the journey and processes of the CCBSP that fostered this dynamically engaged collaboration designed to identify bilingual school psychologist competencies and to inform colleagues with similar goals in other states.
