Dear Colleagues,

TSP is excited to have you join us for our 2026 Annual Conference in Chicago on Monday, February 23, 2026! This year’s conference invites school psychology trainers, supervisors, and program leaders to come together around the theme, “The Power of Purposeful Connection.”

We will explore what it means to prepare graduate students with intentionality - ensuring that our teaching, supervision, and mentoring not only address immediate challenges but also cultivate the next generation of school psychologists who are grounded, resilient, and driven by a strong professional mission.

We welcome you to submit proposals for presentation and posters and nominations for awards. We encourage submissions from school psychology trainers, practitioners, scholars, and students. Please see below for more information.
