Personnel Needs in School Psychology: A 10-Year Follow-Up Study on Predicted Personnel Shortages
Castillo, Jose M.; Curtis, Michael J.; Tan, Sim Yin
Psychology in the Schools, v51 n8 p832-849 Sep 2014
Concerns regarding whether a sufficient supply of school psychologists exists have been evident for decades. Studies have predicted that school psychology would face a critical personnel shortage that would peak in 2010, but continue into the foreseeable future. The current study is a 10-year follow-up investigation based on previously published personnel shortage projections. Data derived from the "National Association of School Psychologists" 2009-2010 national study were used to examine current personnel shortages as well as to project the extent to which personnel shortages are likely to continue. Findings indicate that the field of school psychology continues to experience a personnel shortage that will continue through 2025. Additionally, greater rates of retirements are projected for the field for school psychologists who are males, who possess a doctoral degree, and for university faculty. Analyses based on the U.S. Census Regions indicate that notable differences are likely to occur in the match between the supply of and demand for school psychologists based on geographical location. Implications are discussed relating to the recruitment and retention of school psychologists and to the services they deliver.
