School psychologists also contribute to the profession by mentoring, teaching, and supervision: “As part of their obligation to students, schools, society, and their profession, school psychologists mentor less experienced practitioners and graduate students to assure high quality services, and they serve as role models for sound ethical and professional practices and decision making” (NASP Guiding Principle IV.4).

Finally, psychologists accept the obligation to contribute to the knowledge base of psychology and education in order to further improve services to children, families, and others and, in a more general sense, promote human welfare (CPA, 2017; also APA Principle B; NASP Guiding Principle IV.5). For this reason, they are encouraged to participate in, assist in, or conduct and disseminate research (NASP Guiding Principle IV.5). When school psychologists engage in research activities, they “respect the rights, and protect the well-being, of research participants” (NASP Standard IV.5.2) (see ssss1).
