On the recordSeptember 28, 2010
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of House Resolution 1645, expressing support for designation of the week beginning on November 8, 2010, as National School Psychology Week. National School Psychology Week takes place from November 8 to November 12 this year. Recognizing National School Psychology Week promotes the importance of providing support for students to help to create a healthy, safe, and positive learning environment and to help remove academic and personal barriers to students' success. The role of school psychologists is diverse. School psychologists may help deliver mental health services as well as academic support. These individuals may also help to assess students to determine what learning barriers they face and how best to address those barriers. {time} 1850 The theme of this year's National School Psychology Week is ``today is a good day to shine.'' This theme focuses on highlighting the positive work school psychologists do to promote students' academic and personal success. We recognize National School Psychology Week to show our support for the efforts school psychologists make to create a healthy, safe, and positive learning environment. I stand in support of this resolution.
