Position Paper

The Pivotal Role of Alberta School Psychology Services: A Response to Alberta Education’s Setting the Direction

This position paper was developed by a task force struck to formulate the PAA’s perceptions of Alberta Education’s Setting the Direction framework.  The School Psychology Task Force was comprised of six school psychologists from diverse backgrounds who extensively examined current research and concepts to formulate this position paper.  This paper was subjected to an extensive review process utilizing focus groups of psychologists from across the province as well as input from the PAA’s Board of Directors. The PAA is distributing this position paper through a sequentially tiered process.
