Happy New Year! I wanted to start the year off right by sharing with you the latest NASP resources.

I am pleased to invite you to attend a webinar, a $30 value offered at no cost to NASP members, on January 24 from 1:00 pm-2:00 pm EST. The webinar, Understanding Privilege in America, will explore the concept of privilege from a class, race, and gender perspective and how it can be a key aspect of transformation as one works towards being cross culturally competent. The live format will let you ask your questions directly to Dr. Antoinette Miranda. Plus, you’ll get 1 hour of documented NASP- and APA-approved CPD for attending. This webinar, a $30 value, is free to NASP members, but you must register at www.nasponline.org/profdevel/online-learning.aspxin order to attend.

I am pleased to share the latest updates from NASP with you.

Last month, NASP hosted a Congressional briefing, ‘Safe, Supportive Conditions for Learning: Making Connections for Student Success,’ as part of National School Psychology Awareness Week. The briefing focused on how schools can improve academic achievement by creating conditions for learning that emphasize safety and student support as integral to school success.
