15 February 2010 : CASP is growing; join us!

School psychology is now recognized by the CPA as a specialized discipline within psychology, and graduate programs are being accredited to meet the growing need for psychological practice and services in schools. Despite this national recognition, much-needed unification of practitioners and researchers in school psychology is challenged by different regulations and licensing requirements across the provinces.

We are making a commitment to revitalizing and re-energizing CASP to become a national voice/clearing house for school psychology dialogue and action on issues pertinent to the Canadian context. Our aspirations are:

• To grow the membership of CASP so that it represents a significant number of those engaged in school psychology in each province, and form real national representation of the state of the profession;
• To survey members regarding issues of concern and areas to be addressed;
• To develop a strong working relationship with the Canadian Psychological Association for the purposes of lobbying, when needed, and to share opportunities for education and conference participation;
• To build relationships with provincial school psychology and psychology associations;
• To continue publishing the Canadian Journal of School Psychology as a means of showcasing 'best practices' in school psychology.

We are inviting ALL psychologists involved in school psychology practice and training (i.e., those working in schools, academia, government agencies, current graduate students, etc.), including our CPA Psychologists in Education members, to join CASP at an introductory rate of $50. Membership includes a subscription to CJSP, published by SAGE four times per year, and the opportunity to participate in our national news and views distribution list that will be established within the next year.

To join us, simply click here to download our (form-fillable) application form, then print and mail it to the address indicated along with a cheque for $50.

We look forward to counting you among the members of the new and revitalized CASP! We hope that, together, we can move forward into successive years with renewed vigor, and with a stronger dedication and presence of school psychology in Canada.

15 October 2007 : The CASP-CPA Newsletter returns

It's been awhile, but the CASP-CPA Psychologists in Education section newsletter is back in print. Following the revivification of CJSP, the Official Journal of the Canadian Association of School Psychologists, we have applied our hand to the old newsletter, and succeeded!

The latest issue features a lot of the old favourites, in a striking new design. We also include topical material that deals seriously with the future of our organization. Each and every CASP member (as well as those that are members of CPA's Psychologists in Education section) are encouraged to think seriously about these issues and send us their thoughts.

Click here to open the newsletter in .pdf format; then, send us feedback at the addresses listed there, or simply email us (the Executive) at casp.exec@gmail.com

21 June 2007 : At long last, we have a new look!

Midway through 2007, there has been another big step taken in the revivification of CASP. The site is small now, but built to have plenty of room to expand. Here's a quick overview of the navigation for the site:

Have a look around, and enjoy! We welcome any comments, complaints, compliments and suggestions, at this address.
