The field of school psychology suffers from a critical shortage of practitioners that shows no sign of lessening. The number of training programs and the number of graduates produced has changed little in recent years. A small but growing approach to address this shortage is increasing the number of candidates through distance education (DE). In this article, we briefly review current knowledge of DE in school psychology training then describe the transition of one school psychology program from a traditional model of weekly face-to-face meetings to a hybrid format employing monthly face-to-face meetings plus online instruction each semester prior to internship. Praxis II scores and final internship ratings remained stable across program delivery models. The number of candidates decreased significantly during a period of marked program cost increase and significantly improved during the period of hybrid programming. Much of this growth was for candidates living at a distance from campus. We discuss implications of moving to a hybrid model and directions for future research of DE in school psychology training.
