Abstract
The rationale, structure, and content of a proposed rural-focused preservice training program for school psychologists is described. The training approach is derived from the rural school psychology literature and responds to prioritized state needs. The major objective of the rural-focused curriculum proposal is to prepare rural school psychologists to facilitate the implementation of the Regular Education Initiative. This objective would be accomplished through generalized training with an emphasis upon leadership and team building skills.Keywords
