Current issues relevant to school psychology internships are reviewed. The movement toward professional competencies and behavioral benchmarks as they relate to school psychology internships is discussed, with a concentration on American Psychological Association and National Association of School Psychologists standards. Given the emphasis on observable outcomes and assessment of competencies, implications specific to the internship year at both the specialist and doctoral levels are considered. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
