Abstract

School psychologists are tasked with the job to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) in the schools and are increasingly using the internet and social media applications, such as Pinterest, to find intervention resources. Unfortunately, little is known about the typical patterns of use or of shared content gleaned from social media. A random sample of the National Association of School Psychologist’s (NASP) followers on Pinterest was examined to better understand school psychologists’ Pinterest use. Results show that NASP’s followers are most often sharing content related to behavioral, social-emotional concerns (specifically coping skills) and general professional issues. The implications of disseminating web content through existing social media platforms are examined.
