[Pages:25]NASP-Approved/Nationally Recognized Graduate Programs in School Psychology

Since 1988, NASP has been pleased to provide a national review and approval service for graduate programs in school psychology. NASP program approval/national recognition is an important indicator of quality graduate education in school psychology, comprehensive content, and extensive and properly supervised field experiences and internships, as judged by trained national reviewers. In addition, programs obtaining NASP approval allows for a streamlined process for program graduates to obtain the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) credential. Thus, NASP approval/national recognition confers multiple advantages to programs, program graduates, the profession of school psychology, and, most importantly, to the children, families, and schools that we serve.

Specialist level (60+ graduate credits) and doctoral level programs in school psychology are reviewed and approved by NASP by providing evidence of consistency with the NASP Standards for Training and Field Placement Programs in School Psychology and The 2010 NASP Standards for Graduate Preparation of School Psychologists. The NASP training standards provide the foundation for program review and approval.

NASP is one of the specialized professional associations (SPAs) of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and conducts program reviews as a part of the NCATE unit accreditation process. As an NCATE SPA, NASP does not accredit school psychology programs, but identifies approved programs. NCATE accredits units (e.g., Schools of Education), not programs, but does provide "national recognition" status (full or with conditions) to NASP-approved programs in NCATE-accredited units. In order to provide all school psychology programs with access to the NASP review process and potentially to national approval/national recognition, NASP also conducts reviews of school psychology programs that are not in NCATE units and that submit materials for review by NASP on a voluntary basis.

There are three types of decisions that result from NASP review of school psychology programs:

NASP approval/national recognition-full indicates the NASP review process found that a school psychology program demonstrated consistency with NASP standards. The period of NASP approval/national recognition-full for a program is 5 or 7 years, which includes any period of conditional approval leading up to full recognition status. Programs housed in NCATE accredited units are aligned with NCATE's 7year approval cycle.

NASP approval/national recognition with conditions indicates the NASP review process found that a school psychology program demonstrated general consistency with key NASP standards, but must submit additional documentation, usually within 18 to 24 months, to be evaluated for possible continuation of NASP approval.

Not Approved indicates a need for further development.

It should be noted that NASP treats programs with full or conditional status equally in terms of the rights and benefits of NASP approval. This is true of NCATE's national recognition status as well. Further, the same benefits are offered to graduates from programs with full NASP approval/national recognition and graduates from programs with conditional NASP

approval/national recognition with conditions.

For more information regarding NASP program review and approval and the submission process to be used by school psychology graduate programs, please see the NASP website () or contact Dr. Enedina Garc?a V?zquez, chair of the NASP Program Approval Board, phone: (575) 646-9601, e-mail: nasppab@nmsu.edu. Links to university and program websites are provided with changes made twice a year; one month after review cycles (3/1 and 9/1). Programs are asked to send changes to links to nasppab@nmsu.edu.
