Abstract

Universally the field of school psychology is continuously understaffed. This understaffing hinders school psychologists’ ability to offer their distinctive and unique services to meet the increased mental, physical, academic and emotional needs brought on by Covid-19. This shortage is exacerbated by a shortage of faculty in graduate programs who train future school psychologists. The Post-Covid Impact on The School Psychology Trainer Shortage researches the current school psychology trainer shortage dilemma and observes the different recruitment strategies that are used. This research examines which characteristics of positions and programs are successful and which are unsuccessful.
