3 Ph.D. Manal The Ph.D. program in Shool Psyhology is flly areite by the Amerian Psyhologial Assoiation (APA) an flly approve by the National Assoiation of Shool Psyhologists (NASP). NOT: This manal provies relevant information abot the Ph.D. program in Shool Psyhology. Althogh effort has been mae to be as speifi an omprehensive as possible, there are inevitable etails that have been misse. Please refer any qestions to yor avisor. Program Philosophy The skills neee by a shool psyhologist have hange onsierably sine the ays of the psyhologial examiner. Althogh a otoral egree is not reqire for ertifiation as a shool psyhologist in most states (inling Pennsylvania), most states o now reqire a 6-hor Master's egree or a "Speialist" egree. In view of the hanging role of the shool psyhologist an the epth of training reqire for entry an sessfl pratie, the program at Lehigh prepares shool psyhologists to enter the fiel at a minimal level of ational Speialist (.S). Given that reqirements for liensre for inepenent private pratie by psyhologists in Pennsylvania an most other states reqire a otoral egree, an the primary manner of avaning the fiel of shool psyhology is throgh researh, skills to aomplish these goals annot be traine within the typial.s. program, an reqire training onsistent with a otoral egree. To meet this nee, the Shool Psyhology program offers a otoral program (Ph. D.) esigne to be onsistent with the sientist-pratitioner moel, bt with speial attention pai to the evelopment of researh skills. Consistent with this moel,

4 Ph.D. Manal otoral stents are expete to emerge from the program with skills an ompetenies to be a ontribtor to the researh literatre that will avane the fiel. The linial parts of both.s. an Ph.D. programs emphasize psyhologial an eational fonations, training in psyhoeational assessment of general an speial poplations, psyhologial onsltation, esign an evalation of behavior hange programs, elivery of these an other psyhologial servies in the shools, an spervise pratial experiene in these areas. The orses an spervise pratia are esigne to help the stent view an nerstan the shool as a niqe setting an to gain the expertise an onfiene to apply psyhologial priniples an skills towars solving problems orring in the shool ommnity. The falty of the Shool Psyhology program has esigne the rrilm to ahere to a sientist-pratitioner moel of training. We believe strongly that shool psyhologists mst be able to fntion effetively in a variety of roles. Any eisions that are mae in the provision of servies, however, mst be base on empirial researh that sbstantiate these eisions an onte within a problem-solving moel. As sh, stents mst attain skills in olleting an analyzing ata as well as having soli fonations in nerstaning hman behavior. More importantly, we believe that shool psyhologists mst be apable of linking assessment ata to the evelopment an implementation of interventions. Althogh there is no one theoretial orientation whih an provie a omprehensive, empirially-vali approah to proviing shool psyhologial servies, the researh offere from a behavioral orientation provies perhaps the largest single sore of researh sbstantiating all aspets of servie elivery, assessment, intervention, an onsltation. Althogh stents are expose throgh orsework to other theoretial

5 approahes to oneptalizing aaemi an behavior problems of shool-age Ph.D. Manal 5 poplations, the primary orientation of the majority of orsework an falty is of a behavioral natre. It is important to note, however, that the range of behavioral orientation within the program is qite varie inling those who are applie behavior analyti an those falty who have a more ognitive-behavioral orientation. In aition to approahing onsltation, assessment, an intervention from a behavioral framework, the program also emphasizes the environmental inflenes of family, ommnity, an ltre in the problem-solving proess. Althogh the program foses on the shool as the point of intervention, shool psyhologists mst have sffiient nerstaning of how these environmental variables within whih stents live impat their iffilties. The impat of a behavioral, problem-solving, an eologial orientation of the program reslts in an integrate set of orses an ompetenies aross the professional training seqene. Stents reeive extensive an rigoros training in behavioral assessment for aaemi an soial/emotional problems, intervention strategies for problems ommonly faing the shool psyhologist, an the se of behavioral an systems onsltation as the metho for elivering servie. In aition, stents reeive rigoros training in traitional assessment tehniqes (intelletal an eational assessment), an are expose to knowlege, tehniqes, an theoretial orientations evient in Conseling Psyhology, Speial ation, an basi psyhology areas sh as evelopmental, ognitive, soial, an biologial bases of hman behavior. The program in shool psyhology also is strongly ommitte to proviing stents with a knowlege an experiential basis in mltiltral perspetives. Operating from a broa efinition of iversity, it is extremely important for stents to nerstan

6 an appreiate mltiple ways in whih inivials may iffer (e.g., ethni, ltral, raial, gener). Speifially, stents in the Shool Psyhology program mst Ph.D. Manal 6 emonstrate sensitivity to the important ways in whih nerstaning ltral iversity ontribtes to ritial eational eisions in the lives of hilren. Training of otoral level shool psyhologists is inreasingly reqiring aitional fos an speialization. The shool psyhology program at Lehigh University offers stents the opportnity to selet from one of two sbspeialization areas: the Peiatri/Health Sbspeialization or the Stents At-Risk/With Disabilities Sbpeialization. Peiatri/Health Sbspeialization Many hilren an yoth experiene signifiant health problems that have a marke effet on their aaemi performane an/or soial fntioning an that plae them at-risk for more serios eleterios otomes. Leaers in both the pbli an private setors have sone a all for the evelopment of health promotion programs that ree the nee for expensive meial interventions. There is an emerging onsenss that omprehensive shool health programming in fll-servie shools an be a ost-effetive metho of aressing the growing health an soial problems of yoth an preventing the emergene of nhealthy patterns of behavior. To partially meet this nee, the otoral shool psyhology program has evelope a Health/Peiatri sbspeialization for stents intereste in eveloping aitional ompetenies beyon those alreay ientifie within the existing program. The overall objetive of this sbspeialization is to evelop shool psyhologists as leaers in the researh an pratie of meeting the eational nees of hilren with health onerns. At the ore of preparing peiatri shool psyhologists are ompetenies for linking salient systems in

7 promoting hilren s eational sess, inling families, shools, healthare Ph.D. Manal 7 proviers an ommnities. The program aims to evelop trly integrate professionals who are apable of pratiing within both shools an health are settings to provie integrate servies for stents. Stents At-Risk or With Disabilities Sbspeialization Shool psyhologists freqently work to assess an intervene with stents who have been referre bease of aaemi an/or behavior problems. These hilren often present signifiant hallenges to shool personnel. Using a problem-solving moel, shool psyhologists freqently are alle pon to serve as onsltants to help shools evelop, implement, an evalate programs for stents who are either at-risk for or have ientifie isabilities. Knowlege an ompetenies in the aaptation of instrtion, fntional assessment, fntional analysis, an interventions for iffilties in emotional/behavior omains, are reqire for effetive elivery of shool psyhologial servies. Likewise, shool psyhologists nee knowlege of system-wie hange proesses to evelop prevention programs that are likely to effet broa sale hange in shools an shool systems. The overall objetive of this sbspeialization is to evelop shool psyhologists to serve as effetive problem-solving hange agents who an ientify stents at-risk for eveloping psyhologial an/or aaemi skills problems, work with shool personnel within a problem-solving moel as effetive onsltants to failitate empirially spporte interventions, an avoate effetively in spport of shool-wie hange proesses. At the ore of this sbspeialization is the evelopment of ompetenies in areas of speial eation, shool-wie organizational hange, an effetive interventions for stents ientifie with signifiant aaemi as well as behavior iffilties.

8 Ph.D. Manal 8 Differentiation from.s. Program The Ph.D. an.s. programs in Shool Psyhology iffer in several ways inling greater statistis an researh reqirements for Ph.D. stents, inorporation of seminars in avane topis into the Ph.D. rrilm, inlsion of two speialty traks in the Ph.D. rrilm, an a greater reqirement in terms of amont an iversity of linial experiene for otoral stents. More speifially, the researh reqirements for the Ph.D. program far exee those for the.s. program. Stents in the Ph.D. program mst omplete a orse in Mltivariate Analysis an a orse in Single-sbjet Researh Design. These orses are taken almost exlsively by otoral stents. Aitionally, otoral stents enroll in a orse that foses on Avane Researh Design an Methoology. In ontent areas, otoral stents enroll in at least one Dotoral Seminar. These orses are reserve for otoral stents only an over avane topis not overe in other parts of the professional ore. Some of the seminars that have been offere by falty over the past several years inle Longitinal Researh Methos an Statistial Analyses, Partnership Moels in Shools, Qalitative Researh Methoologies, Anteeent Interventions, an arly Intervention for Yong Chilren At-Risk. Dotoral stents also omplete almost twie as mh linial experiene ompare to non-otoral stents. Whereas stents in the.s. program omplete lok hors of orse relate pratia followe by a -lok hor minimm fll-time, fll-year internship, Ph.D. stents omplete lok hors of orse relate pratia, a minimm of, lok hors of otoral, fiel-base pratia, an a minimm 5 lok hor, fll-time, fll-year fiel base internship.

9 Ph.D. Manal Finally, otoral stents mst omplete a qalifying researh projet, omparable to a Master s thesis, as well as the issertation. Stents in the otoral program are expete to be engage in researh beyon the minimm program reqirements throghot their graate shool areers. Inee, most stents graating the program will have at least one pbliation beyon their omplete program reqirements. Differentiation from Ph.D. Conseling Program The only other areite training program in professional psyhology at Lehigh is the Conseling Psyhology program loate in the College of ation. The Ph.D. program in Shool Psyhology iffers from the Ph.D. program in Conseling Psyhology in several ways. First, the Shool Psyhology program esposes a behaviorally- an systems-oriente problem-solving moel whih is not share by the Conseling Psyhology program. Seon, the Conseling Psyhology program is primarily fose on assessment an treatment of alts, while the Shool Psyhology program is fose on hilren an aolesents. Finally, the primary researh thrsts in the Conseling Psyhology program are in the areas of voational/areer onseling, mltiltral perspetives, spervision, an personality theory. These researh interests are qite ifferent from those of Shool Psyhology falty. Despite these ifferenes, it is important to note that the two programs share ommon missions an interests in the training of otoral-level psyhologists who are sientist-pratitioners. As sh, stents from both programs take some ommon orses an falty from eah program may serve on the issertation ommittees of stents from the other program.

10 Ph.D. Manal Program Objetives Stents ompleting the otoral program in Shool Psyhology mst attain a al set of ompetenies. The program aheres strongly to a sientist-pratitioner moel of training. Stents mst emerge as apable researhers as well as pratitioners. As professional psyhologists, stents mst obtain a working knowlege of basi psyhology while being expertly skille in the appliation of psyhologial knowlege within eational settings. Objetives of the program are esigne to provie ompetenies in five broa areas: Core Psyhologial Knowlege, Researh Design an Methoology, Psyhologial Appliations, Professional Isses/Mltiltral Perspetives, an a sbspeialty in either Peiatri Health Psyhology or Stent At-Risk or With Disabilities.

The Master's in ation (M..) with a major in Hman Development is aware after semester hors, inling meeting a ompeteny in researh. This ompeteny an be met in several ways. First, stents may enroll in Researh. Althogh this orse meets researh reqirements for the Master's egree, it oes not ont towar the reit hors neee for the otoral egree. Seon, stents may meet the researh ompeteny by sessflly ompleting the qalifying projet proposal an registering for p to reits of ShP Applie Researh Pratim or 86 Dotoral Qalifying Researh Projet. Finally, stents may petition the falty for approval of the researh ompeteny after ompletion of a sffiient amont of researh involvement.

39 Ph.D. Manal Pratim an Internship xperienes The heart of any program to prepare professional psyhologists lies in the pratial an spervise experiene they reeive. The otoral program at Lehigh offers five levels of sh experiene: () non-reit observational pratia; () spervise pratia as part of aaemi orsework for whih no orse reit is given; () spervise pratia as part of aaemi orsework where orse reit is given; () spervise pratia aross varios eational/linial sites inling the University laboratory shool for hilren with emotional istrbane an a peiatri psyhology site for those ompleting the Peiatri Shool Psyhology sbspeialization; an (5) a fll-time, fll-year (aaemi or alenar) fiel internship. The figre presente immeiately following this setion provies a shemati representation of the pratia seqene aross the entire program. Initial Pratim xperienes The initial pratim experiene onsists of a non-reit observational pratim. This affors stents who have limite bakgron in eational settings to beome familiar an omfortable with shool settings an the fntions of the shool psyhologist within that setting. Stents begin their hans-on experiene throgh projets whih are assigne in orses. Both the observational pratia an these orses are taken ring stents first year in the program an typially involve an applie behavior analysis projet. Beginning in the seon semester of the first year an ontining throghot the seon year, stents enroll in pratia ( reit eah) in onjntion with for orses (Consltation Proeres, Assessment of Intelligene, Behavioral Assessment, an Assessment & Intervention in ational Consltation). Stents mst spen a total of lok hors minimm (5 lok hors per orse) in spervise experienes aross these orses. These pratim hors shol be logge on the Stent

40 Ph.D. Manal Ativity Log form fon in Appenix A. These pratia are iretly spervise by the falty assigne to eah orse. Dotoral Pratim (ShP ) Dring the thir an forth years of the program, otoral stents are reqire to register for reit of pratim (ShP ) eah semester. The general framework for the pratim experiene reqires stents in the thir an forth years to spen fll ays per semester (approximately 6 hors per week), from September to Jne, in ifferent types of eational/linial settings. In one or both years, stents are reqire to spen fll-ays per week, from September to Jne, in a pbli shool istrit or intermeiate nit. Within these pratia, stents are reqire to ont assessments, provie onsltation servies, provie onseling servies, an aqire knowlege abot working with stents with behavior isorers. More speifially, stents ompleting the Stents At-Risk/With Disabilities Sbspeialization will spen ays per week in a shool setting, typially a pbli shool istrit or intermeiate nit, ring the thir year of the program. However, this experiene may inle one semester at Centennial Shool if the stent has not ha previos pratim experienes at Centennial Shool; the other semester may involve proviing some type of onsltation-base servies within a pbli shool or linial setting. Dring the forth year of the program, these stents again spen ays per week in a pbli shool istrit or intermeiate nit. In both years, pratia experienes follow the pbli shool alenar rather than the Lehigh aaemi year alenar. Ths, these experienes begin aron September an en aron Jne 5. Stents ompleting the Health/Peiatri sbspeialization are reqire to omplete 8 lok hors of the reqire,8 hors ring their thir an forth years within sites that are linking peiatri an eational servie elivery. This is one by ompleting aitional ay (beyon

41 Ph.D. Manal minimal program reqirements) of pratim in the thir an forth years loate within a healthare/hospital site. Stents who enter the program alreay ertifie, may be reqire to take one pratim beyon those linke to speifi orses to allow falty to etermine the stent's level of linial skills. Assming no efiienies, all other pratia are waive for these stents. A fll-time, otoral internship, however, is still reqire. Throghot all for semesters of pratim, stents are jointly spervise by University an fiel spervisors. Spervisors mst be permanently shool ertifie an/or liense psyhologists, preferably otoral level. Goals for the pratim have been establishe to provie a well-rone experiene. Appenix B isplays a list of pratim goals. valation of the stent's skills is provie throgh a ompeteny-base heklist evalation form. All items on this evalation form mst be omplete by the en of the years of pratim experienes. Appenix C & D inle opies of this evalation form whih efines the expete otomes aross the -year pratim experiene. Aross the entire years of pratim experiene, stents mst attain a minimm of, lok hors, of whih at least 6 mst be in an eational setting. All pratia hors are to be reore on the reqire fiel pratia logs fon in Appenix. On a monthly basis, stents omplete the logs, obtain their fiel spervisors signatre an sbmit to the niversity spervisor. After ompleting eah pratim, otoral stents mst omplete the Pratim Plaement Rating Form loate in Appenix F an are eligible for ertifiation as a shool psyhologist in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Upon ompletion of all orsework, sessfl passing of general exams, an emonstrate progress towar the issertation, stents will be ertifie by the program as a Shool Psyhologist in Pennsylvania. To apply for

42 Ph.D. Manal ertifiation, stents mst omplete the form ontaine in Appenix G. Please note that appliants for ertifiation mst take an pass the PRAXIS test aministere by the state. Stents who enter the program with signifiant an omente previos linial experienes (e.g., Master's egree in linial psyhology or onseling an 5 years as a hil therapist in a mental health ageny or ertifie shool psyhologist) may have some of the reqire lok hors towar ertifiation waive. However, these stents mst still amlate a total of, lok hors (inling those given for previos experiene an graate work) of whih 6 mst be in a shool setting to ahieve ertifiation. An aitional option for sh stents with previos linial experiene is to enter their otoral internship pre-ertifiation an ahieve ertifiation ring the orse of the aaemi year they serve as interns. If stents elet this option, they MUST o their otoral internship in a shool setting. Dotoral Internship (ShP ) Stents are reqire to omplete a -year ( or months), otoral internship (minimm 5 lok hors). This reqirement an be met by experienes in either traitional eational settings, or non-traitional linial settings sh as hospitals, mental health linis, researh instittes, an other settings appropriate for avane otoral training, as long as the intern has shool-relate responsibilities within that site an has omente a minimm of 6 previos hors of shool-base experiene ner the spervision of a permanently ertifie shool psyhologist. Stents are enorage to onsier sites where ompletion of the issertation sty may be possible, if the issertation was not omplete prior to the otoral internship. Falty in the program make every effort to enorage strongly that stents omplete their issertation proposal before entering a otoral internship. A stent may apply for a otoral internship in Shool Psyhology when the following riteria are met:
