| Special
Affiliations or Roles: |
Many school districts in our region serve as
practica and intern school psychologist sites for the Ohio
State University. |
| |
|
| Additional
Information: |
We would like to work with OSPA to increase
active
membership and to expand our role as an expert resource beyond
the school forum and into the broader community.
This website provides an excellent opportunity for the Regionals
to unite into a statewide presence through OSPA and become
a reliable and respected resource for information related
to the education of children, broadly defined. |
| |
|
| "Celebrities"
or Special Stories: |
We have several award-winners among
our membership, including an OSPA School Psychologist of the
Year, Jim Kline. Jack Naglieri, one of the authors of the
Cognitive Assessment System and other norm-referenced standardized
assessment instruments, is an alumnus of our region.
Our membership represents professionals from large urban,
suburban, mixed suburban/rural, and rural districts. We
have an active relationship with the School Psychology program
at OSU, and members of the faculty are actively involved
in OSPA and SPCO.
