    Although school psychology is not currently listed as a shortage area in Connecticut, longstanding shortages of school psychologists nationally has continued to threaten students’ access to school psychological services. 15 16 School district leaders should think strategically on how best to maximize the
    use of this valuable resource. While school psychologists will continue to fulfill the critical need for evaluation, greater emphasis should be placed on prevention, consultation, collaboration, and indirect services to proactively support students in an effort to prevent students from failing and obviate the need for more costly, more intrusive interventions.

    Supervision for school psychologists is necessary to ensure ethical, non-biased, competent best practices in the delivery of school psychology services and includes both administrative and clinical supervision.
    s, legal, contractual, or other organizational matters specific to the school district. Rather than discipline-specific skills, administrative supervision includes things such as staff assignments and performance of job-related responsibilities in accordance with labor agreements. This level of supervision is made available to the school psychologist to help solve problems related to job performance and/or conflicting personal factors.
    Administrative supervision is performed by a certified school administrator who may or may not be credentialed as a school psychologist.
