Program(s) Philosophy
School psychologists are committed to the psychological, educational, social, and emotional well-being of all children, youth, and their families. They practice data-based decision-making and accountability; collaborate with families and other educators in the problem-solving process; and are responsive to human diversity. They act in accordance with ethical guidelines, legal principles, and best practices of the profession. School psychologists are knowledgeable, competent, and effective in providing a diverse range of psychological and educational services, focused on attaining positive outcomes in the domains of school psychology practice.
The goal of the school psychology program is to prepare school psychologists with knowledge and skills in the domains of practice established by the National Association of School Psychologists (2000). The standards for licensure of school psychologists of the Kansas State Department of Education (2002) directly correspond to the NASP practice domains. The pervasive organizing theme of the program is data-based decision-making and accountability (the first practice domain).
The School Psychology Program holds the following supportive beliefs relevant to the preparation of school psychologists:
1. We believe that school psychologists strive to promote positive outcomes in the lives of children and their families.
2. We believe that cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning can be understood from an ecological perspective, focusing upon the reciprocal interaction between the individual, the environment, and the ecosystem within which the individual operates.
3. We believe that research and theory are fundamental to responsible practice. Decisions should be data-based, informed by current research and best practice.
4. We believe in the value of working collaboratively with other individuals in teamwork efforts. School psychologists serve children best in partnership with families and schools.
5. We believe that human diversity is an asset to be valued and used to enhance the practice of school psychology.
6. We believe that school psychologists must always act with professional integrity and operate within the ethical guidelines and legal parameters of the profession.
7. We believe that school psychologists use technology to improve their services to children, families, and schools.
8. We believe that our preparation of school psychologists can be continuously improved through the judicious assessment of our current training program.
