Meet with the “Minds” at CASP’s 2012 Fall Convention

Nancy Mather. Sam Ortiz. Dawn Flanagan. Steven Feifer. George McCloskey. These are just a few of the notable names in school psychology who have been invited to present during Meeting of the Minds sessions at CASP’s Convention 2012 to be held in Costa Mesa in October.

The Meeting of the Minds is a group of practitioners, researchers, and interventionists from various organizations who are working together, presenting their ideas to school psychologists and other school-based mental health professionals throughout the nation. CASP was able to tap into this expertise for its inaugural Fall Convention.

CASP has found that more school psychologists are in need of continuing education, specifically in mental health issues, in the post-AB3632 era. Also, licensed educational psychologists now need 36 hours of continuing education, the number of nationally certified school psychologists in need of continuing professional development continues to grow and several CASP members had requested that the annual convention be moved to the fall. The CASP Board of Directors recognized this call for change, but also found that CASP members are in need of a continuing education event in the spring of each year. If finances allow, CASP plans to hold an annual convention in the fall, followed by a spring conference each school year. This gives school psychologists two opportunities to not only improve their skills, but to network with colleagues.

New LEP Workshops Announced

CASP has scheduled new workshops that LEPs can take to help meet the licensure renewal requirements for 2012 and 2013.

Three Alcohol and Other Chemical Substance Dependency Trainings are scheduled, as is one Law and Ethics/Legally Defensible Practices in Assessment, and one for Child Abuse Assessment. Additional workshops are being planned.

“CASP is continuing to assist LEPs meet the new licensure renewal requirements,” said Jenny Jones, CASP president. “We hope they will think of CASP when they look for trainings to fulfill the biannual 36 hours of continuing education they now need.”

Starting with this renewal year, LEPs are mandated to take 36 hours of continuing education before renewing their licenses with the state’s Board of Behavioral Sciences. LEP licenses must be renewed every two years. Most workshops offered by CASP at its annual convention and spring conference qualify for continuing education units for LEPs, LMFTs, LCSWs and LPCCs.
