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.

Engagement and interaction with others–being part of a vibrant community–supports our growth. Students and staff can cultivate a nurturing school environment by highlighting how one's strengths can work with others to support the growth of those around them. This includes creating welcoming, inclusive schools; helping to build students' social-emotional skills; and ensuring that every student is connected to a trusted adult. School psychologists can help students and staff identify ways to strengthen these connections and see themselves as both being a benefit to and benefiting from the broader school community.
Individuals grow in their own time, a process influenced by engagement and interaction with their surroundings. School staff and caregivers are responsible for nurturing each student by supporting their unique needs and strengths to ensure their healthy growth. School psychologists are critical to helping others understand what supports and strategies will best help each student.
