Amanda L. Sullivan, Birkmaier Educational Leadership Professor and coordinator of the school psychology program recently coauthored, Coping with COVID-19 As An Early Career Scholar (Part I) with Lindsay M. Fallon of the University of Massachusetts – Boston. This is the latest entry in the blog for the Early Career Forum, an organization co-founded and chaired by Sullivan with sponsorship from the Society for the Study of School Psychology to address the professional development needs of early career scholars in school psychology and related fields. This month’s post addresses the challenges this pandemic poses for early career scholars’ wellness, teaching, and research, and offers recommendations for going forward in this uncertain context.

Sullivan also spearheaded, with collaborator Bryn Harris of the University of Colorado – Denver, crowdsourcing of teaching resources, guest speakers, and administrator resources to help school psychology faculty nationally adjust to the rapid shift to online instruction and fieldwork.
