PSY8960 School Psychology PsyD Practicum 1
The School Psychology Practicum for PsyD students is the first clinical training experience in their program of studies. Students complete 400 hours of service in the schools, working 20 hours per week for two 10-week quarters. Students receive one hour of individual, face-to-face supervision from their on-site supervisor(s) each week. Supervisors and sites are approved by the university through the application process before students are allowed to begin on-site services. During practicum, students engage in many school psychologist roles, including conducting assessments (standardized, norm-referenced, curriculum based, and functional behavioral); assisting in the development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of interventions designed to address concerns with academics, mental health, and behavioral/social skills; participating in the school's data-based decision making process through collaboration and consultation; and write reports related to cases. School Psychology practicum students engage in services related to the NASP standards and CAEP expectations. PsyD in School Psychology students who have previously completed a master's- or specialist-level practicum and internship course in School Psychology are not required to register for this course. All courses and residencies must be completed prior to enrollment for clinical training. Students should anticipate meeting all course requirements in two quarters of practicum. If there are any outstanding requirements in either artifacts or service delivery hours, students will be required to enroll in a third quarter of internship to ensure completion of course requirements. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer.
