Abstract

Over the course of a semester-long undergraduate school psychology course, students saw an increase in understanding about the field, roles, settings, and qualifications of school psychologists. Students felt the course aligned well with a social justice framework, but would like to see and hear more speakers from diverse backgrounds within the course. Most students are hearing about school psychology outside of university and academic contexts, highlighting the important role practitioners play in recruiting future school psychologists to the field through spreading awareness. Future school psychology undergraduate courses should further utilize practitioners in sharing their experiences from the field.
