PSY 755 Pre – Advanced Practicum and Supervision in School Psychology I
This course is designed to provide students with their initial exposure to working in school settings with children who have a range of challenges. Students work under the close supervision of a certified or licensed psychologist one day a week. The course has several components that include students work in a school or clinic setting providing psychological and educational assessments, preparing reports, conducting counseling individually or in group with children, consulting with teachers and school staff, and implementing intervention programs. In addition, students attend a weekly seminar where major issues in the professional practice of school psychology (i.e., supervision, ethical and professional conduct, time management, performance evaluation methods, diversity in staff, professional relationships, and staff development) are discussed with a university-based supervisor. Students also develop supervisory experience and learn about supervision models and practices.
