Technology Applications in School Psychology Consultation,
Supervision, and Training explores the ways in which the field of
school psychology is using technological innovations to support and
improve graduate student training and supervision, as well as
school consultation. Chapters based on current research and written
by experts address the integration of telehealth tools and
strategies such as telepresence robots, bug-in-the-ear devices,
videoconferencing, virtual platforms, and more, including a section
dedicated to navigating practical, ethical, and legal concerns.
Throughout, the volume engages with relevant considerations
relating to data management, professional standards, and regulatory
guidelines. This is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for all
those looking to understand the place and potential of established
and emerging technologies within school psychology training and
practice.
In schools, much of the responsibility of implementing
interventions to improve outcomes for students falls on teachers,
which may lead to capacity and resource issues. One solution to
this problem is the use of Peer-Mediated Interventions (PMIs),
which include a variety of approaches that utilize similar
individuals to the target student (e.g., students in school-based
interventions) as interventionists or behavior change agents.
Although there is a wealth of research to support the effectiveness
of students as interventionists, peers remain an under-utilized
resource in school-based intervention delivery. Peers as Change
Agents is a comprehensive resource for school-based professionals
working to incorporate PMIs across academic, behavioral, and
social-emotional interventions. The text synthesizes the current
research on school-based PMIs and distills the literature into
concrete strategies that can be easily implemented in school-based
contexts. Building on the foundational principles of PMIs, the
authors reconceptualize this work into three new categories:
Peer-Mediated Academic Interventions; Peer-Mediated Behavioral
Interventions; and Peer-Mediated Group Supports, to better address
students' unique needs. Chapters also highlight the advantages of
PMIs, including their potential for cultural relevance. As school
staff continue to grapple with the practical challenges of ensuring
equity in student outcomes, Peers as Change Agents provides
educators, school psychologists, and counsellors effective and
efficient tools to support students as change agents in their own
learning communities.
