School Psychology Review (SPR) is the flagship research journal of the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). SPR’s mission is to progress knowledge in school psychology by publishing rigorous, representative, and relevant research that informs practice, policy, and professional issues in the field. The Editors of SPR view school psychology as an expansive and evolving field that is dedicated to promoting the academic, behavioral, social, and emotional well-being of all youth in all schools. In their roles, the Editors are committed to upholding academic freedom and to encouraging research that advances the principles of social justice. The Editors strive to lead the journal with cultural humility, engaging the diversity of interests, expertise, methodologies, identities, and voices that comprise the school psychology community. To be published in SPR, research must meet four essential standards derived from the journal’s mission statement: rigor, representation, relevance, and progress. Standard of Rigor. Research must be designed, conducted, and reported in accordance with rigorous scholarly standards that are appropriate to the methodology employed in the work. Standard of Representation. Research must be framed and discussed in a manner that sufficiently represents the communities, public interests, professional interests, and scholarly influences that are germane to the work. Standard of Relevance. Research must be clearly positioned within the field of school psychology and demonstrate relevance to an identifiable aspect of the NASP Practice Model (2020) for school psychology. Standard of Progress. Research must provide a meaningful and specific contribution to progressing knowledge that informs practice, policy, or professional issues in school psychology. SPR welcomes four types of manuscripts: research articles, review articles, registered reports, and comments. Research Articles. Five kinds of research articles are accepted: empirical studies, brief reports, conceptual papers, guidelines papers, and program evaluations. Review Articles. The journal accepts literature reviews that employ scoping, systematic, and meta-analytic approaches. Registered Reports. Review articles and research articles that involve original data analysis are also accepted as registered reports. Comments. Two kinds of commentary are accepted: comments on articles recently published within the journal and comments on critical issues related to the journal’s mi
