Program(s) Philosophy
The Nicholls State University School Psychology program has as its conceptual framework The School Psychologist as Data-Based Decision-Maker. The mission of the program is to prepare school psychologists who are capable of providing high quality psychological services to the educational community. The philosophy and mission of the Specialist in School Psychology program reflects a commitment to and recognition of cultural and ethnic diversity and individual differences as candidates progress from acquiring knowledge, skills, and dispositions through the demonstration of professional behaviors and practice. Candidates are provided with an appreciation for broad diversity that exists among children, families, communities, and systems in which they work. Candidates gain an appreciation, that while the focus of a school psychologists work often in the child, of the importance of the ecological context in which the child performs.
The philosophical roots of the Data-Based Decision Maker as a model for School Psychologists are found in Gray’s (1963) concept of the role of the school psychologist as a data-oriented problem solver, derived from the scientist-practitioner model of graduate training in applied psychology developed at the Boulder Conference in 1949. The Data-Based Decision-Maker model is the recommended model for the training of school psychologists, endorsed in both the National Association of School Psychologists Standards (2000) and in School Psychology: A Blueprint for Training and Practice II (Ysseldyke, Reschley, Reynolds, Lehr & Telzrow, 1997).
The chief characteristics of the Data-Based Decision-Maker model are an emphasis on empirically-based decision making applied to all aspects of school psychology practice. The program promotes the philosophy that practicing school psychologists provide a broad range of psychoeducational and mental health services to children and families. Training emphasis is given to the development of single-case research designs applied to assessment, intervention, consultation, counseling, as well as the development of skills in evaluating programs within the educational community. Technological applications in all areas of practice are emphasized. Explicit among the knowledge and skills summarized within this document are the appropriate applications of ethical and legal considerations in all aspects of the practice of school psychology.
