Field Experience

PsyD Practicum and Internship

Reflecting the rapid growth in the knowledge base in professional psychology, 以及美国心理学会(APA)的认证指南, the program at AU blends a substantial foundation in the basic science of psychology with its longstanding tradition of extensive field experience and practical skills development.

In the Schools

Beginning in the first semester of the program, you will participate in extensive fieldwork in Alfred-area school systems. You are placed in a local public school one day per week for the entire school year, where you gain graduated experience working with both regular education children as well as those with special needs. Such practical experience assists you in developing an understanding of the complexities of the school environment and allows you to begin to acquire valuable skills in communication, consultation, assessment, and intervention. These practica lay a foundation of knowledge and experience that better prepares you for the challenges you will encounter as a professional school psychologist. 学校心理学教师与现场主管密切配合，以促进实地工作. 每学期，现场主管都会根据课程教师指定的能力对你进行正式评估.

In the Child and Family Services Center

During the second year, you have experience in the Child and Family Services Center, 最近装修的宽敞的校园设施，配备了最先进的通信/观测系统. 这个实习不仅让学生接触到社区诊所的环境, but gives them direct experience in intake assessment, psycho-educational assessment, consultation, and intervention with children and their families.

Licensed psychologists from the school psychology faculty directly supervise this work through closed-circuit television, two-way mirror observation, audio and video taping, and individual and group case conferencing.

In the Community

Advanced doctoral students continue to develop their applied skills through individually designed practicum placements during their third year of coursework. These practicum placements may take place in counseling and mental health agencies, in schools or agencies serving specific client populations, or in public school settings. Doctoral students participate in professional roles under the close supervision of field and university supervisors.

During the Internship

You must complete at least one year of full time internship. This experience is the culmination of your classroom and previous fieldwork and allows you to perform the duties of a professional psychologist under the supervision of an on-site doctoral level licensed psychologist. Faculty members coordinate with internship sites to insure quality control and consistency with the goals and objectives of the program. 在这一年的实习期间，实习生将从实习地点获得津贴.

Research Experience

皇冠体育app的这个项目致力于培养实践型科学家. 因此，我们期望我们的学生既是知识渊博的消费者，也是积极的研究实践者.

Research apprenticeship

在项目的第一年，你将作为教员的学徒工作. You may develop your own study or work on a study developed by a faculty member or a more advanced doctoral student. Through this orientation, you gain experience in planning and conducting research, analyzing data, and writing manuscripts or presentations.

Statistics and research sequence

Across the second and third years of the program, doctoral students take three courses in Statistical Analysis and Research Design. Thus, you will understand a broad range of research methodologies, as well as basic and advanced statistical techniques.

Dissertation

The dissertation is the culminating student research experience. Through this experience, you conduct an independent research project on a topic you select related to the practice of psychology with children and families. This project is supervised by a sponsoring committee of faculty members. 学生和教职员工定期相互合作进行额外的研究项目.

Here are some examples of recent presentations:

• 2006-2016年学校心理学期刊中正念文献干预的流行程度
• Facilitating Successful Field-Based Experiences for School Psychology Practicum
• Strategies for Developing Trauma Informed Schools
• Steps to Success in Treating Comorbid Intellectual and Psychosocial Disabilities
• Making the Connection Between Applied Behavior Analysis and Academic Success
• Promoting Wellness or Promoting Weight-Loss: Obesity Prevention in Schools

Training is organized around the following three broad goals:

• To produce professional psychologists with the personal qualities, interpersonal skills and awareness, and the ethical sensitivity predictive of success in a broad array of social, economic, and political contexts.
• To produce psychologists competent to access a broad range of theoretical and practical approaches with sufficient depth to be effective, flexible practitioners.
• To produce professional psychologists competent in the conduct, comprehension, and application of research to professional practice.
