In this dynamic episode of The School Collective Podcast, Chris, Amy, and Brook sit down with NASP President Dr. Peter Faustino for an in-depth conversation about the evolving landscape of school psychology. The discussion covers a broad spectrum of topics—from personal journeys into the field and memorable first conference experiences, to the pressing challenges of balancing professional standards with accessibility. The team shares candid insights on youth mental health, the impact of social media, and the need for digital literacy in schools while exploring innovative approaches like virtual continuing education and podcasting as tools for professional development. With stories ranging from nostalgic conference memories to light-hearted moments (yes, even Girl Scout Cookies make an appearance!), this episode is packed with actionable takeaways for anyone looking to thrive rather than just survive in school psychology.
Tune in for a conversation that celebrates community, advocates for social justice, and lays out a roadmap for the future of the profession.
