Worrell Earns APA Presidential Citation
Professor Frank C. Worrell has been honored with a Presidential Citation from the American Psychological Association (APA) for distinguished and exemplary contributions and service to APA's Division 16 (School Psychology).
The award was given in recognition of Worrell's many contributions to psychology in testing and measurement, school psychology training, racial identity theory, and talent development.
The APA statement reads: "Worrell has provided exceptional leadership and outstanding scholarship in areas of vital importance such as raising achievement levels of at-risk populations, preventing school failure, promoting the needs of gifted adolescents and increasing teacher effectiveness. He has channeled his expertise to the design and evaluation of psychosocial constructs and empirical studies of achievement and student evaluation and has served as an APA representative to the Joint Committee for the Revision of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing.
In addition to his membership on the Board of Educational Affairs, Dr. Worrell has also been their invaluable liaison to the Teachers of Psychology in the Secondary Schools. His exceptional service to the APA also includes serving on the Presidential Task Force on Reducing Educational Disparities and the Coalition for Psychology in Schools and Education. In recognition of numerous achievements and contributions, as well as the respect and admiration he generates on the part of his colleagues in the APA community, we present Dr. Frank C. Worrell with this presidential citation."
Worrell also received the 2011 Chancellor's Award for Advancing Institutional Excellence and was recently elected Fellow of International Psychology (Division 52) and a Fellow in the Association for Psychological Science.
