Program(s) Philosophy
School psychology involves the systematic study of the effects of social and psychological variables on students’ achievement and behavior for the purposes of a) aiding in decision making regarding academic intervention, b) preventing and intervening with academic, behavioral, and emotional problems, and c) advancing the field. It is scientific knowledge that enables psychologists to have confidence and skill in their practice of school psychology and in their research. Thus, training requires the development of increasingly complex skills initially through lectures, discussion, modeling, and practice under supervision in the classroom. Later training involves practice under supervision in the field, use of self-monitoring, and evaluation of outcomes to plan future action. The ability to consider multiple factors that may affect learning and behavior is critical including student characteristics, classroom and instructional variables, and home support (i.e., an ecological approach to assessment, intervention, prevention, and research). Training includes various theoretical orientations such as learning theory, cognitive psychology, and systems/ecological approaches as well as providing a strong background in the foundation areas of the science. Data-based decision making is strongly emphasized along with ethical decision making and accountability. Finally, enhancing an appreciation for diversity is critical in training school psychologists to function effectively in our pluralistic society.
TRAINING GOALS
Consistent with its training model and philosophy the specialist/doctoral level programs in school psychology seek to prepare:
psychologists who employ a systematic approach to problem solving, engage in practice based on the application
of scientific knowledge, and who view data collection and analysis as an integral part of the service delivery
process.
psychologists who view intervention as the core of service delivery and who can apply knowledge of assessment,
instruction, learning, behavioral theory, human development, psychotherapeutic techniques, and positive mental
health practices to prevent or remediate learning and adjustment problems among children and adolescents.
psychologists who are knowledgeable of professional ethics; who use ethical reasoning skills to anticipate and
prevent problems from arising; and who make informed, well-reasoned choices in resolving problems when they
do occur.
psychologists who respect the dignity and worth of all persons, who are committed to fairness and
nondiscrimination, and who work to ensure school policies and practices are consistent with the values of
fairness and nondiscrimination.
psychologists who are knowledgeable of family, schools, and community systems; who are skilled in systems-
level consultation; and who use the science of psychology to promote human welfare in the provision of systems-
level consultation.
In addition to the five goals presented above, CMU’s doctoral program seeks to prepare:
psychologists who have the knowledge, research skills, and leadership ability to participate meaningfully in
efforts to create more effective schools.
psychologists who can play a leadership role in ensuring the delivery of comprehensive and coordinated health,
educational, and mental health services to children and families.
psychologists who have a specific area of expertise within school psychology.
psychologists who have the skills to mentor or supervise less-advanced trainees, and provide on-going training to
others by way of in-service, workshops, or university teaching.
