The collaboration provides a field placement setting where beginning students engage in activities tied to first-year coursework, and an advanced practicum site for doctoral students who oversee first-year students’ classroom-based activities and in turn are jointly supervised by program faculty and the center’s Special Services Manager. Through these experiences, graduate students develop competencies in client-centered, consultee-centered, and systems-level consultation, with opportunities to engage in an array of activities aligned with key updates to the 2020 NASP Professional Standards particularly in Domains Six (Services to Support Safe and Supportive Schools), Seven (Family, School, and Community Collaboration), and Eight (Equitable Practices for Diverse Student Populations). By focusing on the school environment, community collaboration, social justice, and equitable practices, these updated domains highlight the role of ecological and systemic factors in school psychology practice and training. Trainees support the center’s efforts to function as a trauma-informed organization whose members recognize and respond to trauma in a manner that promotes safety, collaboration, empowerment, and other trauma-informed practice principles. They do this by consulting with parents and teachers, contributing to staff professional development on such topics as adverse childhood experiences and caregiver stress management, and facilitating meetings with parents and teachers around issues such as trauma-informed discipline. We discuss how these activities align with the 2020 NASP domains, with particular attention to ecological and systemic perspectives.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":"33 1","pages":"45 - 67"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49379358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the most common obstacles to optimal services include lack of specialized training and expertise, resources, and collaborators, as well as large physical distances between providers and those they serve, region-specific cultural factors, and others. Recent methodologies, such as Extensions for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO), use videoconferencing technology to connect subject-matter experts with community providers to remediate disparities in 1) provider access to knowledge and consultation relevant to evidence-based practices (EBP) and, thereby, 2) patient access to quality care. Despite such advances, few projects have targeted rural communities in the same geographic area as network personnel. Additionally, to date, ECHO networks have been staffed with senior personnel, who have provided their experience and expertise to attendees. We, a multidisciplinary group of trainees and faculty, developed and piloted an ECHO Autism network for healthcare providers across the rural Western United States. In preparation for the launch of this network, trainees polled prospective participants regarding their disciplines and interests. Then, ECHO sessions were developed and implemented over several months. Finally, attendees provided feedback about their experiences. We report information regarding each of these phases and initial results of the post-session feedback to assist those who desire to develop a similar network in their area, and to provide preliminary examination (i.e., formative evaluation) of its benefit in view of the needs of rural providers caring for autistic individuals. We posit that our trainee-led model has unique value for cost-effectiveness and sustainability of implementation.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":"33 1","pages":"393 - 420"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46040646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This critical work is codified in the NASP 2020 Practice Model, which outlines professional and organizational principles to facilitate school psychologists’ engagement in equitable, effective supports to students, schools, and families. However, the legacy of historical beliefs about race and ability, based on white supremacy, have become intertwined in complex ways that are evident within and across multiple school ecologies, including consultation. In this paper, we apply DisCrit, a theoretical framework that incorporates a dual analysis of race and ability through an integration of critical race theory and disability studies, to provide a conceptual review of problem-solving consultation structure, roles, and purpose. Next, we highlight the potential of embedding equitable implementation, an emerging perspective from implementation science, into consultation. Equitable implementation occurs when strong equity components (e.g., trusting relationships, community-defined evidence) are integrated into the implementation process to facilitate quality delivery of programs. With this perspective and an illustrated case study, we hope to provide actionable steps for researchers and practitioners to center disrupting problematic ecologies and advancing equity as foundational in their consultation. We also reflect on opportunities, challenges, and implications for training and practice that are aligned with the NASP 2020 Practice Model.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":"33 1","pages":"10 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44097558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementation science increasingly has been adopted as a framework for organizational consultants to use to promote uptake of evidence-based practices in schools. Although research that identifies processes and skills that increase implementation of system-level interventions remains important, a focus on how educators make sense of and enact the practices in their context is needed. In this article, we discuss how consultants can build upon implementation science approaches by exploring educators’ sensemaking. We draw from other disciplines to illustrate how educators make sense of new practices and their application within local socio-political contexts. Additionally, the importance of communities of learners and teaming in facilitating and evaluating sensemaking is discussed. Finally, we call for consultants to take active roles in investigating and facilitating educators’ sensemaking.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":"33 1","pages":"345 - 368"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46579228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings suggest pre- and in-service educators intend to intervene on racial discrimination. However, the rationale and strategies for intervening often reflect color-blind or biased racial attitudes, suggesting the need for consultation professionals to support teachers in implementing more effective intervention strategies.

Results show PEBBLE led to statistically significant improvements in trainees’ self-reported efficacy, knowledge, and confidence and had a positive impact on classroom environments. Additionally, students who participated in PEBBLE in their first year of school psychology training had self-efficacy and competency ratings comparable to more advanced students.
