Strategy for Ensuring
Competency
Consultation and collaboration are emphasized through required
coursework and the varied practica experiences. In practica,
students work individually with parents, teachers, or the schools
to address a student’s behavioral, social/emotional, psychological,
or academic difficulties. The faculty fosters development of this
skill in students by having a collaborative/consultative
environment for the students. By having students involved as active
participants in the GEPC and School Psychology faculty meetings, we
value students as active learners and professionals, while at the
same time foster a consultative model for problem-solving.
