PDP projects 2005 - 2006

The Professional Development Programme (PDP) is managed by the Asso- ciation of Scottish Principal Educational Psychologists (ASPEP) in collaboration with local councils and funded by the Scottish Executive Education De- partment (SEED). This is the eleventh cycle of the programme, which involves groups of psychologists in cross-boundary project work and other professional development activities, around agreed themes, over a period of about one year. The outcomes of this work are disseminated to colleagues and others in the field of education. This booklet gives a summary of the activities and findings of the three themes addressed by the 2005-2006 programme namely:

• Developing a Self-Evaluation Framework for Educational Psychology Services

• The Contribution of Educational Psychology to an Integrated Framework for Assessment

• The Role of Educational Psychologists in Promoting Resilience, Well-being and Mental Health in Schools

The purpose of this document is to draw the attention of colleagues in applied psychology, education and related fields to the valuable work undertaken in these areas. Those seeking more information should con- tact the authors, who will be pleased to discuss their projects.
