Overview
The School and Community Psychology M.A./Ed.S. program trains graduate students to address the psycho-educational and socio-emotional needs of school age children and adolescents. As previously noted, SHU’s Program goals are consistent with the National Association of School Psychology Domains of School Psychology Training and Practice standards. Inherent in this training is the belief that children must be viewed in the contexts in which they live. The social, economic, and cultural contexts shape their feelings, thoughts, and actions. The school can usefully be regarded as the second nurturing agent beyond the family. Consequently, it is intimately involved in the growth and development of societies’ youngest members. Students are provided with professional and academic training to address the individual, contextual, and systemic needs of children and adolescents as well as those who nurture and support them. The National Association of School Psychologists Domains of School Psychology Training and Practice also guides the students’ professional development and practicum/internship experiences.
