Program Info

The Adelphi University Doctoral Program in School Psychology philosophical and educational models of training are born within an ecological framework. That is, research and teaching are guided by advancing social justice for all children through science, practice, and policy. The ecological model, as articulated by Bronfenbrenner, suggests a structure for the training of practitioner-scientists who understand and practice psychology in a sociocultural context. The ecological model allows for the conceptualization of relationships among various aspects of the individual (i.e., biological, cultural, and relational), in numerous forms of social organizations (i.e., families, schools, neighborhoods, communities, vocational settings) and through multiple structural influences (i.e., socioeconomic factors, social policy, reward systems). Traditionally, the discipline and practice of psychology have focused more on the individual and internal influences and less on the context and environment of the person. The ecological model takes a multi-leveled perspective by including the influences of the social context and the environment in relation to the individual. The model also requires consideration of systemic forces operating on individuals and promotes continued evaluation of current constructs and standards for theory, research, and practice. The Adelphi School Psychology Doctoral Program prepares school psychologists to think systemically and be aware of the profound impact culture and the environment have on the learning and emotional health of children.

我们的生态模式强调家庭、学校/学习环境、同伴、社区和文化对发展中的儿童的影响,以及这些关系对儿童生活的后续互动和影响。该项目促进了对人类和社会发展的系统方法的理解,其背后的生态和所涉及的环境。这种生态框架允许教师向学生教授基本关系,这样他们就可以更好地理解媒体、学校、政府(即州和联邦政策)或孩子的邻居如何影响孩子的发展。生态模式致力于以证据为基础的实践,并将社会正义注入我们的课程。布朗芬布伦纳的生态学理论定义和描述了这些环境系统,每一个都对儿童的发展有一个相互关联的影响。儿童发育成熟的生物学因素、其直系家庭/社区环境和社会环境之间的相互作用,促进和指导了他/她的发展。由于每个系统都是相互关联的,一个系统的变化会对其他系统产生连锁反应。总之,儿童的发展受到生物因素、直接环境以及更大环境的相互作用的强烈影响。该计划强调循证实践和功能能力,通过我们的概念框架的图形展示加以说明。

The course of study in the School Psychology doctoral program at Adelphi University prepares students to meet the increasingly diverse responsibilities of school psychologists in an increasingly diverse society. Emphasis is placed on important content areas that contribute to the development of competencies with an understanding and respect for individual differences and human diversity. Our developmental and competency-based course of study ensures that student learning is appropriately sequenced and integrated into relevant practical experiences.

该项目及其概念框架反映了卫生服务心理学中的从业者-科学家模式,旨在确保学校心理学家成为有能力的、循证的、具有良好功能能力的从业者,同时也是熟练的研究人员。也就是说,培训的重点是学术知识的实际应用。该项目的使命是培养未来的学校心理学家,他们的实践经验强调应用循证研究来解决问题。也就是说,学生的训练是基于从既定的科学探究方法中获得的知识的相互影响。此外,我们的使命体现了从生态和社会正义的角度开展工作的承诺,通过更大的社会文化背景来理解儿童的发展。该培训旨在扩大学生的意识、知识和专业知识,以满足所有儿童和家庭的需要,而不论其特殊地位(例如,富裕的、服务不足的人口)。此外,该项目旨在让学生了解学校心理学的理论和实践的多样性,让学生有足够的智力自由来实验不同的传递系统和各种理论基础。

Fieldwork and Clinical Training

Students are required to complete fieldwork and clinical training whereby applied experiences are integrated with school psychology doctoral course work and theoretical knowledge across multiple field training experiences.

During the third year of doctoral study, students are required to complete a clinical/community externship. Externs shall extend their learning and practicing of professional skills in a clinical or community mental health setting (e.g., hospital, community mental health center, substance abuse recovery program, etc.). Thisfield placementprovides students with experiential learning with children, adolescents, families, or adults with myriad academic, behavioral, emotional, and other handicapping conditions.

During the fourth year of doctoral study, students are required to complete a year-long, school-based practicum. The school psychology doctoral practicum, in concert with APA and NASP guidelines, is designed to provide students with opportunities to demonstrate their skills in an applied school setting. The practicum experience is specifically designed to prepare students for internship and ultimately, to work effectively with children, families, educators, and community mental health agents. Practicum activities are designed to systematically integrate theory, techniques, empirically-supported practices, research, ethics, and professional behaviors.

Accreditation

The Doctoral Program in School Psychology receivedapprovalfrom theAmerican Psychological Association’s (APA)Commission on Accreditation (CoA) for our “Intent to Apply” application and voted to provide public notice of the program’s intent to seek accreditation on the CoA website. The doctoral program is not currentlyaccreditedby the American Psychological Association (APA). The program is, however,designed to be aligned with the APA’s accreditation standards set forth by the “Standards of Accreditation in Health Service Psychology” (SoA).The Doctoral Program in School Psychology will apply for accreditation as soon as possible.

APA accreditation is designed so that new doctoral programs can apply for, and possibly achieve accreditation, which is the goal for this nascent Psy.D. program. We cannot guarantee accreditation, but will make every effort to be successful toward that goal. Graduation from a nonaccredited program may impact eligibility for licensure in the state in which the student intends to practice. All applicants should investigate licensure requirements of the state in which they intend to practice.
