School Psychologist INTERN (3rd year) - Full or Part Time
Note that this posting is only forINTERNapplicants. Trainees looking for a 2nd yearFIELDWORKERposition should contact Tiffani Allen Lead School Psychologist directly at or .
What we offer:Large suburban public district with approximately 29000 students ranging from 3 to 21 years of age and a wide range of races/ethnicities languages and socio-economic statuses. As its own SELPA our district has the full range of special education programs including special day classes (SDC) for students with mild/moderate/severe learning challenges; inclusion and SDC services for students with Autism and Dyslexia; resource support; inclusion support; services for students who are deaf/hard of hearing (DHH) or have visual impairments (VI); DIS/related services (e.g. counseling speech OT PT vision adapted PE mobility & orientation); and post-secondary transition services. Our district completes its own Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) evaluations and offers a range of counseling and social-emotional/behavioral supports (e.g. DIS counseling Counseling Clinic ERMHS counseling Social Emotional Educational Collaborative/Counseling Enriched Program classrooms and separate schools with in-classroom supports provided).
- Typically work 4 to 5 days a week with 1 to 2 hours of weekly direct supervision
- Complete supervised tasks related to assessment pre-referral intervention meeting facilitation and individual/group counseling with increasing independence over the school year
- Build and strengthen professional skills (e.g. caseload management meeting facilitation teamwork)
- Stipend of $175 per day for a 180-day calendar (i.e. $175 a day for 4 days $25200 per year; $175 a day for 5 days $31500)
Placement is available in elementary middle high and high schools and is based on supervisor assignment; there is potential for limited preschool activities as well. Internship experiences will be based on university program requirements but students will generally have the opportunity to observe and complete the daily tasks credentialed school psychologists do. Experiences include but are not limited to shadowing/observing daily school psychologist activities; attending pre-referral (CARE and SST) 504 Accommodation Plan and IEP meetings; consulting with teachers/staff/parents; individual/group counseling; observing/completing assessments for many of the 13 special education eligibility categories; writing/interpreting/presenting reports; and attending school and department staff meetings/trainings. It is likely that students would be able to shadow other school personnel including special education staff but this would be set up on an individual basis. If there is interest in presenting on a topic during a staff meeting we could also accommodate that easily.
**When applying if you are required to attach your credential please attach a page that states that you are a school psychology intern and the anticipated date you will have your intern credential. This will not impact your ability to apply for an internship although you will need the credential before starting in the fall.
