When speaking to educators and various parent and community groups, I often share a few short stories about my interactions with the students in my schools. More than the smiles (and maybe laughter) from the audience, these brief moments allow them to understand who I am as a person and how I think as a school psychologist. Perhaps best described as a diary, Today in School Psychology: This is Why a Day Without Direct Contact with Students is Wasted includes some of my most memorable encounters with children and families as well as musings on school psychology and education. Most of the entries in this collection were written at the end of day while thinking about how amazing it feels to be a school psychologist. From being incredibly proud of young people who have graduated from high school, to highlighting the outstanding teachers and colleagues who serve children and families with grace, passion, dedication, and excellence, Today in School Psychology has something for you. From seeing families advocate for their children, to wrestling with how systemic policies and practices can be changed to promote equitable outcomes for all children, this book is for you. But most of all, Today in School Psychology is filled with the innocence, insight, and profound truths of children that have not only taught me a lot, but also inspired me to be a better school psychologist.Because much of my joy is found in having direct contact with students, I hope that these stories resonate with you and bring a smile to your face. As you read the funny things that children say, I hope that you are reminded of why you are an educator. Whether for your own personal inspiration or using them as icebreakers and discussion starters in staff meetings or retreats, I hope that you reflect on how you can be an even better champion for young people-one who always keeps children at the center of your service and professional practice.
