Ethics and Law for School Psychologists

Description

Ethics and Law for School Psychologists is the single best source of
authoritative information on the ethical and legal issues school psychologists
face every day. Designed specifically to meet the unique needs of
psychologists in school settings, this book includes the most up-to-date
standards and requirements while providing an introduction to ethical codes,
ethical decision making, and the legal underpinnings that protect the rights
of students and their parents. This new seventh edition has been extensively
updated with the latest research and changes to the law, with an increased
focus on ethical-legal considerations associated with the use of digital
technologies. Coverage includes new case law on privacy rights, electronic
record keeping, the 2014 Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing,
digital assessment platforms, the latest interpretations of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act, and more.Ethics texts for counseling and
psychology are plentiful, and often excellent—but this book is the only
reference that speaks directly to the concerns and issues specific to
psychologists in school settings. Case vignettes, end-of-chapter questions,
and discussion topics facilitate deeper insight and learning, while updated
instructor’s resources bring this key reference right into the
classroom.Keeping up with the latest research and legal issues is a familiar
part of a psychologist’s duties, but a practice centered on children in an
educational setting makes it both critical and more complex. Ethics and Law
for School Psychologists provides a central resource for staying up to date
and delivering ethically and legally sound services within a school setting.
