Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.

Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working.

Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers.

It's the only way things change.

Attended an amazing PD on thoughtful approaches to autism
Identification in the schools. Highly recommend seeking out Dr. Kawena Begay if she’s ever presenting in your area. A+

I've said this many times before, but we can't reasonably expect school psychologists to engage in the full scope of their role when they're often burdened by ineffective practices.

If we want to make a bigger difference, we need to advocate to remove low value practices.

It's National School Psychology Week! We appreciate the role our CUSD school psychologists fill every day in order to grow our community together. Thanks for supporting our students! #WeAreChandlerUnified @CUSDCounseling

it’s like school psych christmas but you’re the parent who has to clean out the old broken toys and then assemble the new toys and remind everyone they have to share and listen to complaints because they wanted different toys and you couldn’t afford all the toys. #leadsp

There is a serious youth mental health crisis happening in this country.

That’s why we are investing $1 billion to help schools hire and train more mental health professionals across the country, and we’ll continue to take action to face the crisis together.

Clinical psychs are super mad about a recent tweet from psychiatrists that touted superiority. Meanwhile school psychs are all,

So tired of folks griping about teachers’ summers off. Guess what? There’s a huge shortage of all school professionals. If you think it’s so great, join us! (Also, it IS great).

@ReadingShanahan Yes to all this! Plus consider my kid’s attendance was down this year, not because he didn’t have transportation or because he/we don’t value education, but because in the “aftermath” he had freaking COVID and the catch-every-germ aftereffect. But let’s not address that elephant.
