=Hello,= ==Welcome to my wiki, which was set up as a collaboration spot for the Central Ohio School Psychology Network, a function of the State Support Team Region 11. The purpose of the Network is to provide a forum for school psychologists to get to know like peers in the region, learn about new developments in the field, share information and address common issues across the region. I am Gale Kingsley (short bio on the "Discussion" page), currently a consultant at SST11 and previously a school psychologist with the evaluation team at COSERRC (before it became SST11). I also have held a school psychologist license from the Ohio Board of Psychology for a number of years.==

==The wiki contains two projects: ideas for structuring the topics of the wiki and a brief bio of myself, and the other regarding ETR tips and ideas as a pro-active strategy for our region. Since this is a beginning, I am more than open to suggestions and ideas from those of you who are more familiar with the technology of wikis and such. Feel free to make suggestions.==

==During a recent meeting, and to some extent, over the past two years, many comments have been made about the extensive time and effort needed to complete ETRs. While it is highly unlikely the form and format will not change, it is hoped that this section of the WIKI will be useful for SPN participants to add pro-active ideas and tips that will be useful for everyone in reducing the time and effort while still producing quality work. Some issues are with the form itself, while other issues will be with the specific vendor. Since ALL of you are working with a specific vendor where you work, please indicate which program you use to work with the ETR form.== ==Since this is a forum for collaborative effort, feel free to add your thoughts and ideas and. especially, tips that have worked for you. At some point it is hoped our SPN will be able to pull a group together (with stipend) to craft a document that can be distributed. Please go to the ETR page, read entries, and add your own. Gale==
