Program(s) Philosophy
The primary goal of Ball State’s MA/Ed.S. program is to prepare highly qualified school psychologists to work with children and adolescents, families, and other professionals in schools and related human service settings. Consistent with Expert Engagement in Context: A Conceptual Framework for Professional Education (Lapsley, 2002) of Teachers College, highly qualified school psychologists are engaged educational experts who are sensitive and responsive to the contextual bases of teaching, learning and development. Within this framework, competent professionals are knowledge experts who actively engage in proficient, reflective professional practice in a variety of settings. Students are exposed to different theoretical perspectives. However, we emphasize that children must be viewed as existing within multiple systems and frameworks. And that behaviors are a result of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that interact dynamically. Human diversity is recognized as a strength that is valued and respected.The M.A./Ed.S. program has been structured to educate students in accordance with Indiana school psychologist certification requirements as administered by The Professional Standards Board and in response to National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Educators (NCATE) standards.
Specifically, the M.A./Ed.S program is designed to:
educate students for the profession of school psychology as defined by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP);
prepare students to meet the school psychology certification requirements of Indiana and most other states.
