Program(s) Philosophy
The School Psychology Program at Florida State University was formed on the basis of the following core beliefs. (1) We need to ensure that the practices of all school psychologists are supported by empirical evidence of effectiveness; (2) A focus on prevention and early intervention services is both cost effective and beneficial to children, families, and schools; (3) The practice of assessment should be linked to both intervention and accountability; (4) School Psychologists are the best-trained professionals working in schools today, and can act as change agents for children and schools; (5) Collaboration across professions in education, and across specializations in psychology, is critically important to ensure the achievement of common goals; (6) School Psychologists must understand the impact of factors such as culture, race, gender, and social class on children’s success and on families, and also must both respect and work to improve the educational opportunities for children from diverse backgrounds and cultures; (7) In order to act effectively in the schools, School Psychologists must understand the impact of state and federal initiatives on children and schools, including the impact of the re-authorized Individuals with Education Act (IDEA) and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB); (8) Advancements in technology should be viewed as an opportunity to improve both prevention and intervention services; (9) Effective home-school-community partnerships will be critical in re-conceptualizing the field of school psychology, as will a shift away from the role of “gatekeeper to special ed” and shift toward a service delivery model that emphasizes consultation and collaborative problem-solving.
