Ethics for School Psychologists: Supporting Best Practices in Assessment Through Ethical Problem Solving

This session will focus on the ways the National Association of School Psychologists’ 2020 Principles for Professional Ethics address ethical responsibilities of school psychologists. A problem-solving approach to resolving ethical dilemmas will be discussed that are relevant to assessment practices in the context of federal and state law and local procedures. Seasoned practitioners should be prepared to learn and take away tools to make your professional functioning more ethical and just.

Course Objectives:

1. Explain the importance of using a problem-solving model to address ethical issues. 
2. Describe sources of influence that can contribute to ethical dilemmas, particularly related to ensuring assessments and resulting decisions meet ethical standards. 
3. Design strategies for ensuring that student functioning is ethically evaluated in the context of the specific factors required for considering special education eligibility. 
4. Identify accepted and evolving standards and principles pertaining to ethical requirements, as well as best practices related to assessments, in both school and community environments.
