Information on Professional Development

The Society of Pediatric Psychology (SPP) is invested in further   developing our current leaders, as well as fostering the growth of   future leaders for our field. Current professional development   offerings include a host of readings and workshops in key areas to   promote leadership effectiveness. It is anticipated that future   activities will include leadership mentoring opportunities and   SPP-offered workshops focusing on leadership development.

Literature and Training for Leaders

Heading up a research team? In charge of a clinical program? Maybe   considering a career path in administration? If so, developing your   competency as a leader is a critical component for your future   success. In order to promote your success, the   SPP Leadership Resources Task Force (  Russell Hoffman,  Deidre   Donaldson, and   Dan Clay) offers a guide to   literature and training programs on key competencies for leaders.  Simply select the leadership competency on which you would like to   focus (See links, below), and learn about tools that other SPP   leaders have found useful in promoting their development. Please   contact one of the Leadership Resources Task Force Members about   information presented in these lists, or with recommendations for   additional works to include.
