Why the name?

For those of you who have the privilege of reading this blog, but may not be well-versed in the world of school psychology, the name of this blog may go over your head. Many IQ and Achievement tests are kept in black briefcases, so I thought the name was apropos. I don't want to misrepresent the field and say that testing is all that we do. We do a lot of things in the school system, from consulting parents and teachers, devising behavior intervention plans, assisting teachers in developing alternative teaching strategies, and even some testing. So school psychologists, like anyone else in the education field, have to have a bag of tricks. School psychologists tend to carry a lot of bags, some of them being black briefcases.
