The Trainers of School Psychologists (TSP) is committed to innovation and excellence in graduate training programs for specialist and doctoral school psychologists. Our purpose is to foster high quality training in school psychology programs. We work toward this goal by examining current trends in graduate education programs, providing professional growth opportunities to school psychology faculty, facilitating communication with field based supervisors, and supporting legislative efforts that promote excellence in training. 

To these ends, TSP supports scholarly inquiry that benefits the field of school psychology and extends the current research knowledge on graduate training in school psychology. TSP welcomes members, or those sponsored by a TSP member, to submit research requests that are aligned with the mission of TSP.


Individuals who wish to solicit participants for their research through the TSP listerve (SPTrain), or require further information, should contact the TSP Research Committee Chair (Daniel Newman, Ph.D., Daniel.newman2@uc.edu).
