Читать книгу Ethics and Law for School Psychologists - Susan Jacob - Страница 103

This chapter provided a brief overview of public school law pertinent to school psychology. School psychologists are ethically and professionally obligated to be familiar with law and to keep abreast of changes in law affecting practices. We concur with Reschly and Bersoff (1999) view that understanding of law is important “as means to protect precious rights, as well as a method to resolve disagreements over rights and responsibilities. The better understanding of legal influences is one way to enhance opportunities for implementing the best professional practices.”
