Practicum in School Psychology

Supervised field experience focuses on professional practices including assessment, consultation, counseling, informal assessment, and academic and behavioral interventions. The school-based practicum is accompanied by a seminar designed to provide students with additional supervision and didactic training. The seminar focuses on implementation of problem solving models for identifying and addressing students' academic and social/emotional/behavioral needs and on supporting all aspects of professional practice, including participating in effective site-based supervision. Students complete a minimum of 600 hours of supervised field experience in a school setting during the year, and the requirements of a weekly seminar. Students submit a portfolio and present their work to members of the department as evidence of their growth and professional development. Two courses. Prerequisite: consent
