Each semester, the Departmental Consulting Service considers applications for those who wish to be listed as DCS consultants. Completed applications will be reviewed by both DCS and by APA's Board of Educational Affairs (BEA). For applications to be ready for the spring BEA meeting, I will need to receive your application materials by January 12 so that we can complete the review process by the beginning of February.
In order to qualify as a DCS consultant, applicants must have the following qualifications:
1. Administration experience (department chair, assistant department chair, etc.).
2. Experience as a program evaluator.
3. Expertise in multiple consultation areas (examples listed below).
Specific areas for consultation include (but are not limited to): curriculum (evaluation, development, designing/improving special programs or courses, fieldwork or honors); faculty (writing grant proposals, developing funding sources, writing for publication, promoting professional development, enhancing/evaluating teacher effectiveness); advising (student advising for career planning, graduate school preparation, changing enrollments, minority recruitment and retention); research facilities (designing psychology labs, designing teaching facilities, computer applications for courses, labs, or administration); departmental program evaluation (self-assessments, program evaluation, department evaluation).
