NCSP in the Spotlight
 


Michael Lillard, Ed. S. , NCSP

Mike is one of the charter group of NCSP's, and has continued to maintain his national certification since the inception of the program. He feels that "earning the NCSP designation is a sign of professionalism and dedication to the field of school psychology, as well as a sign of commitment to the provision of high quality services to students." Mike believes the NCSP endorsement conveys that school psychologists "have met established high standards of training" and will continue to do so throughout their careers. Currently, he is employed as a school psychologist in the Paulding County School System (Dallas, Georgia).

Mike received an M.S. degree in School Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1978 and an Ed.S. degree in School Psychology from Georgia State University in 1988. In addition to his current employment, he has also worked for Northwest Georgia CESA/RESA and the Polk County School System. Mike has previously served as a Psychological Services Program Coordinator and as a Program Director. He also served in the U.S. Navy Reserve and retired with the rank of Commander.

Dedicated to the education of children, Mike is committed to the provision of comprehensive school psychological services. His professional interests include preschool assessment and intervention, autism, pre-referral interventions, and supervision.

Mike is very active in the Georgia Association of School Psychologists, having served as Chair of the Professional Standards Committee and as a member of the Accreditation, Certification, and Training Committee and the Finance Committee. Currently, he is serving as the Chair of the Children and Profession Committee, which focuses on developing position papers for the organization. Mike is also an inaugural member of the Georgia Crisis Assistance Team for Schools, which has been designated as an Exemplary Mental Health Program in a recent publication of the National Association of School Psychologists, Recently, Mike was selected by the Paulding County Board of Commissioners to serve a three-year term on the Highland Rivers Community Services Board. In addition, Mike has been actively involved with Special Olympics in the Paulding County School System.

Bruce Rogers, Ed. S. , NCSP

It has been nearly fifteen years since the first group of Nationally Certified School Psychologists (NCSPs) was recognized by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). The 2003-04 school year is being hailed as the "Year of the NCSP" by NASP. In accordance with this celebration of the NCSP, new and renewing GASP members, who are NCSPs, will be recognized in this column of the Dialogue and on the GASP website (gaspnet.org).

The first GASP member to be recognized as a new NCSP is BRUCE ROGERS, a school psychologist with First District Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA). Bruce has been employed with First District RESA for seven years. He received an Educational Specialist degree (Ed.S.) from Georgia Southern University. During his tenure with First District RESA, Bruce has served from 3-7 counties yearly in the areas of screening, comprehensive assessment, consultation, staff development, and research.

Bruce has developed a phonological screening instrument and local norms for this particular instrument. He has also developed rating scales and checklists for use in evaluating students. In addition, Bruce has provided staff development pertaining to the interpretation of psychoeducational reports, issues of eligibility, and specific learning disabilities. Bruce has also provided consultation regarding website development, screening and Student Support Team issues, preschool assessment, and the use of the computer program Tranquility for the tracking of individual students' progress. In the near future, Bruce hopes to create an on-line behavior intervention program that will assist school systems in tracking students with behavioral difficulties.

Bruce views the NCSP as a "recognition tool for meeting a specific training standard in the field of school psychology." He is optimistic that the state of Georgia will be among the first to recognize the value of national certification by offering state salary incentives to Nationally Certified School Psychologists (NCSPs), who are employed in Georgia's public school systems (refer to HB 808).

Bruce currently serves as webmaster for the Georgia Association of School Psychologists. Congratulations, Bruce, on completing the rigorous requirements for the NCSP!
