…when the children ask to play a game before going to class, the answer is [almost always] yes. The score? Children: 2 mr. barrett: 0 😉 This is why a day without direct contact with students is wasted. #todayinschoolpsychology #itsalwaysaboutthechildren
Though this photo represents some of my earliest + fondest memories of Sis. Glen, I have more than 3 decades’ worth of life-changing experiences that I’ll never forget. For now, I’ll simply say that I’m grateful for the life of Sis. Glen + the honor of knowing her my entire life.
I live for the children stopping by and saying hello. If I’m not in a meeting or on a call, we’ll chat for a bit. And they’ll probably leave with a pencil—even if it isn’t their birthday. 😉 This is why a day without direct contact with Ss is wasted. #todayinschoolpsychology

don’t need exceptional educators—those whose practices are exceptions to what is required. Alternatively, the excellent work that they are doing must become the expectation by being written into policies that govern everyone’s practice. Policy over people and systems over
their teaching, leadership, counseling, and assessment lead to positive outcomes for young people. But if what these educators are doing are not expectations, they can be perceived as exceptional. Albeit counterintuitive, to ensure that all children receive what they deserve, we
expectations (i.e., they break the law), they are held accountable for their actions. Here’s the lesson. In schools, some people are doing amazing things for children. Whether they are teachers, administrators, school counselors, school social workers, or school psychologists,
these [changes] must become requirements rather than options. Consider this: policy is a fancy word for expectation or what we expect people to do. Legislation, for example, are expectations (policies) that people are required to follow. And when they don’t adhere to these
Today in school psychology… While speaking with a school psychology graduate student about skills to keep in mind as an advocate, I mentioned the difference between exceptions and expectations. In other words, as we advocate for systemic changes that will benefit children,
