A graduate of the School Psychology program has expertise in both psychology and education, as well as a knowledge of the contributions of related disciplines. Using an ecological perspective, our graduates work with general education as well as special education students, teachers, administrators, parents, and with others in the community to develop greater understanding of all children and to contribute to constructive change in a variety of environments—including the classroom, school, and home. Particular attention is given to serving the needs of children of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. As a member of the school faculty, the school psychologist shares with faculty members and with other professionals the responsibility for delivering services that prevent problems and maximize learning and personal growth in the child. The role of the school psychologist as a member of a team is addressed in training.
