LIVE Zoom Webinar
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape educational tools and professional workflows, school psychologists are increasingly faced with new ethical questions and considerations. This session will explore current and emerging uses of AI in school psychology, examine the potential benefits and risks, and offer guidance rooted in NASP and APA ethical frameworks. Participants will engage in case-based discussions to consider how to maintain professional integrity while adapting to technological advances that impact data analysis, report writing, communication, and student privacy.
This workshop addresses the following NASP practice model domains:
Domain 1: Data-Based Decision Making; Domain 2: Consultation and Collaboration; Domain 10: Legal, Ethical, and Professional Practice
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Identify common and emerging applications of AI in the field of school psychology.
2. Evaluate ethical risks associated with AI use, including concerns related to confidentiality, bias, and professional
responsibility.
3. Apply NASP and APA ethical standards to real-world scenarios involving the use of AI in educational settings.
4. Develop strategies for the responsible integration of AI tools while maintaining sound professional judgment and
student-centered practices.
