Spotlight on School Psychologists

Helping Students, Staff and Families Make the Connection!

 

School Psychologists

School psychologists are in a unique role to facilitate students' connections at school. School psychologists work directly with students providing educational assessments, leading individual and group social skills development sessions, guiding learning strategies and problem solving skills, and helping students develop positive self concepts by linking efforts to achievements. The importance of connections is not limited to students. School psychologists also consult and collaborate with teachers, counselors, aides, administrators, and parents. 

 
Helping our students and schools focus on strengthening positive relationships and increasing positive connections is at the heart of National School Psychology Awareness Week, November 14-18, 2011. The theme, "Every link matters. Make a connection." is directed to students, but also carries an important message to all adults.
