Abstract
NASP recognizes the importance of adequate resources and support for training programs in the Standards for Training and Field Placement in School Psychology and recommends reduced teaching loads for graduate faculty and a course release for program directors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the workload and compensation of school psychology training program directors. The directors of graduate programs listed in Best Practices in School Psychology IV were surveyed as a part of a larger study. Although the majority of directors reported some form of compensation for their role, most carried heavier courseloads than recommended, in addition to student research and advising duties. Monetary compensation is similar to that of other psychology faculty. Gender differences were found in salary and compensation for the director role. Implications of director workload, as well as gender-differences are discussed.
