Please consider joining Alysia Roehrig ([email protected]) in a new Division 15 Ad Hoc Practice Committee. I am looking for a few folks interested in helping Div 15 figure out how to do a better job of linking practice and educational psychology research. We would meet monthly (via an online meeting platform) to brainstorm ways our committee could reduce the research-practice gap and to plan and implement at least a couple of our ideas over the next year. If you are interested in participating, please complete this very brief survey by September 27th at the following link: https://edpsych.us/PracticeCommitteeSurvey
