Abstract

This study investigated how the implementation of a personal change project impacted school psychology graduate students’ knowledge of the change process. Ten school psychology graduate students completed a personal change project (PCP) in which they initiated a change within their personal life. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected for each student’s change. Results suggest that students were able to effectively implement personal changes. Students also reported their perceived knowledge of the change process and of the role of a consultant in the schools increased as a result of the PCP. Implications for incorporating the PCP into a consultation course are discussed.
