Which agency oversees the certification of school psychologists in Georgia?

The Georgia Professional Standards Commission is the correct agency that oversees the certification of school psychologists in Georgia. This body is responsible for setting the standards for certification and licensure in educational roles within the state, including the credentialing process for school psychologists. They ensure that candidates meet the necessary educational and training requirements to be eligible for certification, ensuring that school psychologists possess the requisite skills and knowledge to serve effectively in schools.

On the other hand, while the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists regulates the practice of psychology in general, it primarily focuses on clinical psychologists rather than specifically on school psychologists. The American Psychological Association (APA) is a national organization that sets guidelines and standards for the field of psychology, but it does not directly oversee certification at the state level. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) provides professional support and resources, but it does not have regulatory authority over certification in Georgia.
