Every season contributes to a continuum of growth. School psychologists can be champions in this process. Even seasons of rest are important for a balanced and healthy lifestyle and to create growth. For adults and students, this can include professional development, the need for self-care or self-reflection, and time devoted to recharging rather than doing.
Species can survive individually, but when planted together, each contributes to the growth of the others. This is true for people and school communities as well. Diversity in our schools is critical to how students see themselves and the world, learn respect for differing perspectives, and find commonalities in different experiences. School psychologists reinforce inclusive schools in which every student feels seen and valued.
