School Psychology Research Collaboration Conference
The School Psychology Research Collaboration Conference (SPRCC) is a unique opportunity for emerging scholars in the field to work with advanced scholars in the field of school psychology. Sponsored by the Society for the Study of School Psychology (SSSP), the SPRCC is a mechanism to actively support the efforts of early career researchers who conduct psychological research relevant to the practice of psychology in schools. Such collaboration among early career and advanced scholars is designed to facilitate scholarship that addresses complex and important problems relevant to schools, students, and their communities. A principal goal of SPRCC is to facilitate an inclusive and affirming space for all participants, and in particular for those with marginalized identities.
Anticipated outcomes of the SPRCC include the following; (1) fostering early career researchers in obtaining collaborative and mentoring support for their research; (2) discussing important issues and ideas relevant to the application of psychological research to education and the practice of psychology in the schools; (3) developing friendships and working relationships across networks of researchers, resulting in more individuals having a voice and an outlet for their research energies and talents; (4) engaging in constructive dialogue between researchers to establish and clarify research priorities; and (5) enhancing the quality of psychological research.
