Professional Standards Committee

The function of the Professional Standards Committee is to promote high standards of professional practice of school psychologists, to accomplish the mission of AASP;  i.e., to promote optimal success for all children and youth. This committee is responsible for recruiting members to the association and for providing support to members. Areas of concern to the Professional Standards Committee include making available resources for such things as: professional conduct of school psychologists; preparation program standards and training competencies by partnering with university programs (i.e., annual internship fair, assisting with aligning programs to NASP standards, etc.); supervision of professionals, both in training and in professional practice; credentialing standards; professional best practice procedures; mentoring professionals new to the field and developing a support network; facilitating Requests for Assistance made on behalf of members for Districts; and overseeing activities for National School Psychology Week (NSPW). It is beyond the scope of this committee to respond to ethical complaints; however, resources will be provided to assist in the inquiry, as appropriate.
