Supervision in School Psychology: The Developmental, Ecological, Problem-solving Model examines specific factors that contribute to successful supervision in school psychology, including the integration of a developmental process of training, the ecological contexts that impact practice, and evidence-based problem-solving strategies. Supervision is a core professional competency requiring specific training for the benefit of supervisees, clients, and the profession. Written for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the field of school psychology, this book provides thorough, specific, and immediately applicable methods and principles for supervisory practice. Featuring a diverse set of pedagogical tools, Supervision in School Psychology is an important resource for navigating the distinct challenges specific to the demanding and diverse competencies associated with supervision in school-based settings.This second edition is significantly expanded and includes updated research on best practices in school psychology supervision. Expanded coverage and new chapters address system change and social justice advocacy skills, problems in professional competence, self-care, telesupervision, and deliberate practice. Maintaining DEP’s focus on the practical application of best practices, additional strategies are presented for teaching diveristy and multicultural responsiveness anchored in cultural humility. Supplemental case study material, supervisory process and reflection activities, tables, graphics, and practice-ready appendices as tools that illustrate best practices in supervision.

Supervision in School Psychology: The Developmental, Ecological, Problem-solving (DEP) Model presents the seminal model for clinical supervision specific to the diverse competencies required by school psychologists and associated professionals in school-based settings. It is widely used in graduate classrooms, by field and university supervisors, and in professional development and credentialing programs teaching best practices in supervision. Supervision Case Studies for School Psychologists: The DEP Model in Action illustrates the research-into-practice value of the DEP model across a wide array of case examples. Expert field- and university-based supervisors present diverse case studies that illustrate the application of best practices in supervision to routine and complex supervisory challenges. Cases explore the full range of supervisory and clinical practice: supervision of academic and behavioral assessment, intervention, and consultation; strategies for teaching program development, systems change, social justice advocacy skills and fostering diversity and culturally responsive practice; supporting supervisee self-care; and problem-solving ethical dilemmas. Complex challenges of addressing supervisee skill deficits through deliberate practice and structured remediation plans are illustrated. Case examples include supervision of both preservice and credentialed school psychologists and illustrations of district-wide professional development programming based on DEP principles. DEP in Action integrates best practices in supervision and service delivery.
