Hello. Join us if you have an interest in the field of school psychology. Here we can discuss all aspects of the field and share what we learn with others who have the same interest. The group started on August 30, 2007.
To begin, here's an online source for some basic information about the field. It is the web site of the National Association of School Psychologists, the main professonial organization for those working in the field. While the site is full of detailed information about the field and the work that school psychologists do, the following links are particularly good for the person just learning about the field:
- A broad overview of the nature of the field
- More detailed information for students
- Standards, training, and credentialing
West Seneca East Elementary School Practicum
Submitted by Jami Radtke on April 16, 2008 - 7:34pm.This spring semester, January – May 2008, I chose to complete a school psychology practicum at West Seneca East Elementary School. I have been placed with the school psychologist, Ms. Diane Marasciulo, who is supervising my time here. The population of children that I will be working with range in age from five to ten years old. My ultimate goal for this semester is to gain a better understanding of the daily tasks and routine of a school psychologist. I am eager to observe how this kind of career fits into the overall school setting. Moreover, I am looking forward to learning how children are assessed and counseled through school resources.
