Resources in Response to COVID


Statements

  • NASP Alternative Internship Vertification Form:  to help document modified internship experiences for those current interns wishing to eventually pursue the NCSP credential. This form should only be used by those on internship during spring 2020, and will be posted on the NASP website. Many current interns may still reach the 1200 hour minimum through remote or virtual activities directly associated with their internship site – those candidates may use the regular internship verification form


Training/Practicum/Internship Resources

  • School Psych Guest Speakers and Online Resources –You can enter and find potential guest speakers and a variety of resources to support online instruction. The online resources pertain both to making the transition to online only and targeted resources to replace in-person lecture and activities in specific courses.*


  • COVID-19 Critical Issues for School Psychology Programs Q&A – This word document is formatted for crowdsourced Q&A from the Critical Issues sheet of the Google sheet CDSPP circulated last week. Right now, there are many more questions than answers, but we hope that if we band together, we can help each other in supporting our programs and communities in this difficult time*
  • Alternative Practice Activities aligned with NASP Domains: This document has been created by Denver Public Services School Psychologist Graduate Student Coordinator, Joanna Barker, in partnership with Jennifer Gray, Field Based Supervisor, and our local Universities: University of Colorado Denver and Denver University. We have decided to share this document to any Graduate Student or University who would like access to support and promote ongoing learning and experiences for our professionals in training. For questions, suggestions, edits or additions email: Joanna_Barker@dpsk12.org

    Assessment Resources

    • Resources for Teaching Assessment Remotely: Part 1 and Part 2


      Tele-Psychological Supports


      • FREE Telehealth two-day training with CEU from PESI:  PESI is offering their 2 Day telehealth training for free with the Promo Code: TELEFREE. This webinar includes the training, a quiz, and CEU certificate (as desired). Please note that the training will appear to be at normal price when you register ($439) until you reach the final registration page, where you are permitted to enter the "discount" or promo code.
      Technology Supports
      • Powerpoint Narration Support: PowerPoint gives the option to add narration to each slide individually. PowerPoint will include a video of the person recording in the lower right corner of each relevant slide (or that camera option can be turned off if only audio is wanted). Then you can turn the PowerPoint into a slide show to be published as a PowerPoint or as a video. This may help some of our faculty as we transition to an online classroom. If they plan to use PowerPoint for the web they will need to use transitions that are supported for that purpose (Cut, Fade, Push, Wipe, Split, Random Bars, Shape, Morph)

      Needs Assessment: This will guide the development of future PD and mentoring regarding distance learning for graduate education in School Psychology.  The survey is NOT for research purposes.  Results will be used to develop support groups and training opportunities for focused use of technology across different content areas in school psychology.  Both the survey and its results will be placed in the TSP spreadsheet for resources.
