Program(s) Philosophy
The Educational Specialist in School Psychology (Ed. S.) degree program at the University of Missouri - St. Louis provides training in data-based problem solving with particular attention to interventions and educational outcomes within a cognitive-behavioral theoretical perspective. The program promotes a unique set of professional values through its emphasis on: a) Data-based decision making; b) Educational and psychological treatment outcomes; c) Multicultural diversity; d) Program development and evaluation; e) Facilitation of organizational change.
The Ed. S. degree is a terminal degree program designed to prepare future school psychologists to work in school settings. Graduates of the program are immediately eligible for School Psychologist Certification from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and are qualified to apply for the National Certified School Psychologist credential from the National Association of School Psychologists.
The Ed. S. in School Psychology degree program consists of 60 hours of graduate coursework that prepares school psychologists for professional roles as data-based problem solvers. In addition to courses in psychological and educational foundations, assessment, and direct interventions, a primary emphasis within the program is upon prevention and early intervention of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional problems through consultation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and systems-level interventions. Throughout the program, including 500-hours of supervised practicum and a year-long 1,400-hour internship in the schools, students work closely with the school psychology faculty and field-based supervisors to develop practical skills.
