Program(s) Philosophy
The School Psychology M.Ed. is committed to a scientist-practitioner model of training. Emphasis is on the role of school psychologists as highly-qualified practitioners and also as leaders/innovators in comprehensive support services to schools. It is housed in the Counseling/ Clinical/ School Psychology Program within the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. ??Scientist-practitioner Model?We emphasize the implications of research findings in psychology and education for psychological services in school settings. In turn, we emphasize the analysis of problems encountered in school settings from a scientific/evaluative/research point of view. We recognize the need for school psychologists to apply research-based information to assist all students to learn and maximize their human potential. This means that school psychologists work with regular education students and with students who have special learning needs. In addition to core content courses, this analytical perspective is complemented by ongoing practicum experiences in school settings as well as the Ray E. Hosford Counseling Psychology Training Clinic. These practica experiences are closely supervised by both university and field supervisors. The school psychology area includes MED/Credential, Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology PHD/Credential, and Special Education, Disabilities and Risk Studies PHD/Credential students. All students participate fully in the breadth of fieldwork, courses, research, and other school psychology community activities.
We view the school psychologist as pivotal in the provision of comprehensive support services to teachers, students, and parents. Comprehensive support services include prevention, assessment, and intervention programs for all children. A primary objective of the area is to train school psychologists who work to enhance the learning and development of students; and when the learning process is delayed, to be able to assist those who are at-risk or in need of special education services. These services include, but are not limited to, implementing and supporting primary prevention programs, student study team efforts of prereferral intervention, multidisciplinary assessments, crisis intervention efforts (suicide and school violence prevention and intervention), psychoeducational interventions, and special education programs.
It is our intention that given the above emphasis, our trainees will have the necessary background to advocate for and be able to perform a broadly defined school psychology role. This demonstrates support of the priority areas set forth by the National Association of School Psychologists:
• Champion the essential rights and welfare of all children and youth.
• Promote learning environments that facilitate optimal development of all children and youth.
• Develop and promote effective interventions that address distressing circumstances (e.g., socioeconomic factors, abuse, neglect) that impede the success and happiness of children and youth.
• Embrace individual and group differences in children and youth based upon gender and diverse ethnic, cultural, language, and experiential backgrounds.
• Establish working relationships with other professional organizations, individuals, and groups that enhance educational and social-emotional outcomes for all children and youth.
• Vigorously advocate comprehensive school psychological services for all children and youth to meet their diverse needs.
• Attract individuals to the profession, retain those already in the profession, and promote career advancement opportunities.
• Actively promote a wide range of relevant and effective training opportunities for the profession from pre-service to life-long professional development.
• Promote recognition of professional excellence in the provision of school psychological services.
• Champion the profession of school psychology with key audiences
