State Advocacy Action Model: The Future of Advocacy Decision-Making for School Psychology State Associations
Oyen, Kari A.; Medley, Meagan; Smith, Shlon A.
Contemporary School Psychology, v27 n3 p505-514 Sep 2023
School psychology state associations are given the monumental task of translating best practices for advocacy into intentional actions for members. This responsibility, paired with the numerous task demands placed on volunteer organizations, can be problematic when deciding how to approach key issues within a state that are important to school psychologists and the children that are served. This paper purports how state associations might use a framework of decision-making strategically to engage in intentional and meaningful advocacy actions that can make a difference. Key aspects to the state advocacy action model include building advocacy systems, using data within a problem-solving model, as well as for deciding on specific actions to build grassroots advocacy efforts. Specific examples of how a state association may engage in these actions are given. Impact statement: The article explores a model of advocacy for state school psychology associations. This model has the potential to guide associations to engage in highly impactful practices to create positive change for the profession and children who need advocates. The article explores the theoretical underpinnings of the model and gives case examples of how the model may be implemented for grassroots advocacy efforts.
