The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and
the George Washington University (GW)
Graduate
School in Education and Human
Development (GSEHD) will co-host an annual federal public policy institute in
Washington,
DC
starting in the summer of 2010. This
agreement posed an incredible opportunity for NASP members, as GW is
consistently ranked among the top 20 graduate programs in educational public
policy. Space is limited, so register early!
The theme of this year’s PPI is "Safe and Healthy Environments for Educating the Whole Child." The 2010 GW/NASP
Public Policy Institute will feature a 3-day basic training for school
psychologists and other national organization participants from Wednesday
–Friday, July 7-9, 2010 on GW campus in
Washington,
DC. GW graduate students and any other
participants taking the institute for graduate semester credit will engage in a
5-day experience that continues on Monday-Tuesday, July 12-13, 2010. The 3-day basic training will focus on
building the foundational knowledge of grassroots advocacy and federal
education law while the 5-day experience will look more closely at the
development of administrative policy and procedure and their impact on students
and school organizational systems. Participants will gain first-hand knowledge
of the legislative process through a Capitol Hill experience visiting their
elected officials and observing Congress in action.
Registration includes all materials, an evening networking reception, a $10 metro
pass to enable participants to participate in the Capitol Hill experience, and
selected meals (breakfast and lunch daily with the exception of July 9 lunch on
your own.)
For school psychology state associations, a limited number
of registration scholarships will be available to assist associations in building
grassroots advocacy capacity. These are need based scholarships and will be
rewarded in the form of tuition reimbursement only. Please click on the link
