Culturally Competent School Assessment: Performance Measures of Personality
Psychology in the Schools (2007)
  • Richard H. Dana, Portland State University
Abstract

Performance measures of personality—narratives, Rorschach, and drawing techniques—provide continuing comprehensive assessment resources for school psychologists. These measures are examined for assets, limitations, and applications consistent with a new practice model for culturally competent school-based services. Cultural competency is informed by a generic training model and illustrated by contents of a public sector California training program. Expanding cultural competency training opportunities in all school psychology programs can integrate assessment, intervention, and outcome evaluations using performance measures within a context of guidelines and ethical responsibilities. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
