PSY8967 School Psychology PsyD Internship 6
This course is a continuation in the series of the final clinical training experience for the PsyD in School Psychology program. This course is required for learners who are unable to fully complete and satisfy the required 1500 total hours of internship during the PSY8962-8966 course series. Throughout internship, learners exhibit leadership skills; demonstrate a positive impact on students; write comprehensive psycho-educational reports integrating various forms of data collected from many sources such as assessment instruments, assessment interviews, and observations; engage in developing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating interventions to be applied school- and district-wide; interact with school system leaders, families, and community members; and actively lead the school system's data-based decision making process. Upon successful completion, learners are ready to engage in independent practice as a leader in a system designed to meet the psycho-educational needs of students. Learners must complete a total of 1500 hours of service over their internship. Of this total, at least 750 hours must be completed within a school setting and the remaining 750 hours may be completed in a setting other than a school system with department approval. Supervisors and sites must be approved by the university. Any hours obtained in a setting other than a public school environment must be consistent with the skills and training of the intern. Each week, learners receive two hours of individual, face-to-face supervision from their on-site supervisors and participate in both direct and indirect services as prescribed by NASP and CAEP standards.
