School Psychology publishes empirical studies and literature reviews of the psychology of education and services for children in school settings, encompassing a full range of methodologies and orientations, including educational, cognitive, social, cognitive behavioral, preventive, cross-cultural, and developmental perspectives.

Focusing primarily on children, youth, and the adults who serve them, School Psychology publishes research pertaining to the education of populations across the life span.

We welcome manuscripts from scholars throughout the world, including research from multi-site international projects and work that has the potential to be adapted to and implemented around the globe to address the needs of diverse populations, cultures, and communities.

Papers linking innovative empirical research with practice and public policy in the USA and elsewhere will also be considered.
