School Psychology
School Psychologists as Members of Pupil Services Team
The school psychologist is a core member of the school’s integrated pupil services team: This team works collaboratively, in partnership with teachers, administrators, families, and community organizations, to design and deliver a comprehensive, coordinated and customized system of student supports. The primary purpose of this team is to create environments that maximize opportunities for learning and ensure that all students develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to achieve personal success as a college, career, and community ready individual.
As a member of the pupil services team, the school psychologist is an advocate for educational equity, promotes the healthy development of the whole-child, and is a leader of systemic change within their school community.
