A Community of Practice for School Psychologists is a collaborative network where school psychologists come together to share knowledge, resources, and best practices aimed at supporting student well-being and academic success. This group fosters professional growth through peer support, discussion of current challenges, and the development of evidence-based strategies. By engaging in regular exchanges of ideas and experiences, members deepen their expertise, enhance their problem-solving skills, and create a stronger collective impact within their schools and communities.
