12
If a student's grad program/parent institution has decided to pull all students from fieldwork - will APPIC consider it a breach of contract? On their March 5 email, they alluded to sites needing to defer to student's parent institutions, but wondering if anyone has encountered this yet?
13
Use of telesupervision and telehealth practices?Our state board of psychology posted a notification and referred us to the APA IR (Implementing Regulation) guidelines. Here is the link to the IR: https://www.apa.org/ed/accreditation/section-c-soa.pdf
14
Strategies for teaching assessments online without have the opportunity for students to conduct practice within the classNot sure that this fully answers your question, but you can have students practice in the online virtual classroom by using breakout rooms in Zoom. (New similar response) We are also considering having individual "appointments" to supplement these type of breakout rooms/online practice. They would be individual appointments/office hours type of setup to allow for more individualized attention if needed. As an added layer, students are presented a scenario and on the sport have to determine which subtest would be appropriate (and why) and then administer it.

Willing to swap a guest lecture or two with anyone. I teach introduction to school psychology and would be happy to have some others drop by to share their unique expertise or just give a new perspective to my students. On the flip side, my area of expertise is self-regulated learning (SRL) and motivation. I am happy to talk with others about SRL and motivation, how it overlaps and diverges from other terminology that is used in school psychology frequently (e.g., executive functioning), how to measure or develop SRL, etc...feel free to email me at greg.callan@usu.edu
