    School psychologists’ responsibilities require many behaviors associated with leadership and advocacy. School Psychologists employ these skills when promoting change for individual students, programs, schools, and systems. Understanding the “why”, “how” and “when” for specific skill sets and characteristics associated with leadership and advocacy is important for promoting better outcomes for the children and youth we serve. The AASP Leadership Cadre  will provide participants with evidence-based information and opportunities for collaborative problem solving and practical leadership strategies. This five-part hybrid program is designed to help Arizona school psychologists improve their leadership skills, whether they serve in an official leadership role within their schools or want to improve their ability to impact systems change at a local, state or national level. Participants will be provided with engagement activities to apply their learning.

    Cadre Facilitator: Leslie Z. Paige, EdS, NCSP (Ret)

    Goals for the Participants:
    • recognize our leadership role.
    • act as leaders in our work.
    • act as leaders in our profession.
    • continue to participate in leadership development opportunities.

    Learning Outcomes:
    • Participants will be able to describe the major evidence-based models of leadership in the context of school psychologists’ responsibilities.
    • Participants will be able to describe the skill sets that foster leadership and advocacy
    • Participants will be provided with practical guidance and opportunities to extend their learning into their work setting.
    • Participants will share different strategies to engage in leadership and advocacy with fellow cadre members.

    Logistics: Session One will be held at the UA Chandler campus in downtown Chandler on Friday October 25, 2024 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. Four additional virtual sessions will be scheduled monthly (November, December, January and March). The attendees will provide feedback to the Cadre Facilitator to set days/times for the live online sessions.
