Study #2
Project Title: Professional Practices of Psychoeducational Assessment of School Psychologists in the United States
We are conducting a survey as part of a research project at the University of Alabama, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the University of Sherbrooke. This project is investigating how school psychologists think about, plan, and complete assessments in schools. Your response will help us understand what school psychologists think about psychoeducational assessment, and how assessment plays a role in our professional identity.
If you are a practicing school psychologist who completes assessments as part of your job duties, we would greatly appreciate your participation. After completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to submit your name to receive one of five $20 Amazon gift cards. You can access this survey by following this link: https://universityofalabama.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_39286uAlTpTEcse
This survey is voluntary and confidential, and should take no longer than 20 minutes. The research conducted in this survey has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at The University of Alabama. There are no foreseeable significant risks associated with your participation in this study. If you have any questions, please reach the study lead at lasnider@ua.edu.
