This year, for National School Psychology Week, I tried to channel the incredible force that is school psychology into one small poem. As a school psychologist myself, I know firsthand how hard we work, how influential we can be, and how incredibly important we are in the lives of so many.
I have been influenced by so many school psychologists throughout my career. Many supervisors who have become friends, colleagues who have taught me, guided me, and led me to professional growth. Thank you so much to everyone who works so hard in education, but a special shoutout to school psychologists - my people.
I am so excited to share and I hope this lights up your day as you read.
