Description:

Rapidly accelerating changes in digital generation, storage, and communication of data have affected how we interact with each other, how we work, and even how we think. This workshop will explore the implications of advances in digital communication for our profession and the relevance of the 2010 NASP Principles for Professional Ethics as school psychologists cope with these advances.

Workshop participants will

• become familiar with the organization and content of the 2010 Principles;
• understand the relevance of the Principles to new challenges to privacy and confidentiality brought about by digital storage and communication systems; and
• use a problem-solving model to resolve ethical dilemmas involving such issues as social networking, HIPPA and FERPA, sensitive health information, and digital technology. This workshop will feature lecture, discussion, and small group discussion of relevant practice scenarios.
