Summary

Supervision is a core professional competency requiring specific training for the benefit of supervisees, clients, and the profession. Supervision in School Psychology: The Developmental, Ecological, Problem-solving Model examines specific factors that contribute to successful supervision in school psychology, including the integration of a developmental process of training, the ecological contexts that impact practice, and evidence-based problem-solving strategies. Written for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the field of school psychology, this book provides thorough, specific, and immediately applicable methods and principles for supervisory practice. Featuring a diverse set of pedagogical tools, Supervision in School Psychology is an important resource for navigating the distinct challenges specific to the demanding and diverse core competencies associated with supervision in school-based settings.

Additional text

"Clinical supervisors—mentors—are of unparalleled importance in the education and training of school psychologists. Today, practitioners face extraordinary challenges, from assessment to consultation. This text, fortunately, is an invaluable resource. Beautifully crafted by two national leaders, this volume fills a critical void. I'll have it on my desk. You might want a copy too."
--Tony D. Crespi, Past-President, Trainers of School Psychologists, EdD., ABPP, NCSP, Professor of Psychology, the University of Hartford, USA

"This comprehensive resource provides a wealth of knowledge regarding the supervision of school psychologists. Covering the full range of factors that affect school psychology practice, it will help students, trainers, and practitioners strengthen their own practice as well as that of supervisees. Case examples and behavioral markers illustrate concepts and provide quality indicators of effective application of the only model designed specifically for the supervision of school psychologists."
--Meaghan C. Guiney, Ph.D., NCSP, Clinical Assistant Professor, School of Psychology, Fairleigh Dickinson University, USA

"At a time when the field is demonstrating a renewed appreciation for the important role of supervision in clinical practice, Simon and Swerdlik present a model of supervision specific to the field of school psychology that emerged out of a reciprocal relationship between research and practice. The book's case examples and discussion questions suggest an ideal text for supervision courses, while the activities included make it an essential guide for new supervisors and a valued resource for experienced ones serious about developing their supervisory practice."
--Brenda Huber, Director, Psychological Services Center, Illinois State University, USA
Simon and Swerdlik do an excellent job of paying homage to past theoretical and practical supervision models and crafting these into their own easily digestible framework that is definitively "school psychological" in aim and scope. The use of case scenarios aids in demonstrating application of techniques and the use of reflection questions and other activities allow for consolidation of concepts. This text will be invaluable to field supervisors of both practicum and internship students at either level of school psychology training. It should also serve as a primary text in classroom-based pedagogy within school psychology graduate training programs.
--Greg R. Machek, Associate Professor of School Psychology, University of Montana, USA
