NASP Domain 8 Diversity in Development and learning Gemma Miller EDPSY686 3/31/14
Domain 8 “School psychologists have knowledge of individual differences, abilities, disabilities, and other diverse student characteristics; principles and research related to diversity factors for children, families, and schools, including factors related to culture, context, and individual and role difference; and evidence-based strategies to enhance services and address potential influences related to diversity” (NASP, 2014)
Model (NASP, 2014)
What is diversity? • Diversity in reflected in all of the institutions in our society • Cultural differences are complex and subjective and therefore require culturally competent practice • Culture permeates all aspects of consultation and collaboration (Doughtery, 2014) • Multicultural consultation= the consultant adjusts services to accommodate and value cultural differences • To be culturally competent, consultants will want to be culturally sensitive in their practice and also have the skills and knowledge to respond to diversity in their practice (Doughtery, 2014; Ingraham, 2003)
Recent changes in diversity • Diversity is drastically increasing in the public schools • In urban and suburban settings, Caucasian is no longer the majority • Big change from 50 years ago • 2050- estimated that less than 50% of the student population in the US will be non-Hispanic whites (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000) (Kampwirth & Powers, 2012)
Why does this matter? • There is an increasing need to identify effective methods to teach diverse populations of students • Classrooms require teachers to educate students from varying • Culture • Language • Abilities • etc. • Teachers must create a classroom culture where all students, regardless of their background, are supported and provided with the best opportunity to learn (Richards, Brown, & Forde, 2007)
How to Enhance knowledge • One of the most important roles for consultants is to help build the schools capacity to meet the needs of a diverse population (Wizda, 2004) • Provide culturally competent and responsive services as a way to assess, diagnose, and treat children • Promote fairness and social justice in school policies and programs (Cartledge, Kea, & Simmons-Reed, 2002; NASP, 2014)
Change in the schools • To make the institution more culturally responsive, change must come from: • Organization of the school • School policies and procedure • Community involvement (Little, 1999; Richards, Brown, & Forde, 2007)
Change in the individual • Individual self-reflection • Examining beliefs about themselves and others • This will allow them to look at biases they hold • Individuals also need to explore their personal histories and experiences • Teachers need to explore the history and experiences of their students (Richards, Brown, & Forde, 2007)
Multicultural awareness • Organizational Systems Consultation • useful for establishing research-based programs that are responsive to the needs of diverse students and their families • Students and their families, consultants, and consultees engage in a collaborative relationship to determine how cultural and language issues can influence learning (Crothers, Hughes, Morine, & Erchul, 2008
8 domains for consultant learning and development • Understanding one’s own culture • Understanding the impact of one’s own culture on others • Respecting and valuing other cultures • Understanding the individual differences within cultural groups and the multiple cultural identities in many individuals
8 domains continued • Cross-cultural communication • Understanding cultural saliency • Understanding the cultural context for consultation • Multicultural consultation and interventions appropriate for the consultee and client (Crothers, Hughes, Morine, & Erchul, 2008; Ingraham, 2000; Kampwirth & Powers, 2012)
Method of Research • PsycINFO Search Terms: diversity AND multicultural awareness AND social services for diverse population • NASP website • GoogleScholar: diversity in schools • Used required textbooks from class (Kampwirth & Powers, 2012; Dougherty, 2014; Crothers, Hughes, Morine, & Erchul, 2008) to find sources cited
