The 2002 revision of the American Psychological Association's ethics code: Implications for school psychologists

The Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of Conduct has been recently revised. The organization of the code changed, and the language was made more specific. A number of points relevant to school psychology are explicitly stated in the code. A clear advantage of including these items in the code is the assistance to school psychologists negotiating ethical dilemmas in their work setting. This article provides an overview of the revisions in the code most applicable to school psychologists and a detailed analysis of three areas of the code: psychological assessment, the implications and application of the modifiers in the code that guide ethical decision making and correct conduct, and diversity issues. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Practical issues in field based testing of oral reading fluency at upper elementary grades

In this series of studies, we explore the ideal frequency, duration, and relative effectiveness of measuring oral reading fluency. In study one, a sample of 389 fifth graders read out loud for 1 min and then took a traditional state-level standardized reading test. Results suggest administering three passages and using the median yields the highest predictive validity. Study two compared oral reading fluency rates at 30 and 60 s for 815 elementary and middle school students on the same passage. Results indicate that the 30 s measures yield a comparable score. Study three found relatively similar predictive validity of oral reading fluency for 67 fourth- and 125 sixth-grade students on Aimsweb, EasyCBM, and DIBELS. Implications for practice are discussed.     

Discrete event simulation

Computers can be used to simulate the operation of complex systems and thereby study their performance. This article introduces you to the technique of discrete event simulation through a simple example.
