School Psychology: Doctoral Study at Howard University Rev 8/14 The Howard University School Psychology Program (HUSP) is structured to meet the requirements for licensure as a school psychologist (Nationally Certified School Psychologist) and psychologist. The program is currently fully NASP approved, with training requirements that are fully aligned with both NASP and APA standards of graduate training for Doctoral level psychologists. Professional Training Sequence The Howard University School Psychology (HUSP) Doctoral training sequence involves 5-6 years of full-time study. Emphasis is placed on developing cultural, clinical, and scientific competencies necessary for students to assume the responsibilities of a psychologist primarily in school, clinical and community settings, as well as in university faculty positions. Graduate students are expected to progress toward the Doctoral degree by achieving five graded and sequential levels of competency. These five levels of competency/progress are aligned with training standards from NASPs Domains of Training and Practice and APAs Competency benchmarks for Professional Psychology, and include: the Psychology Scholar (Year 1), the Psychology Apprentice (Year 2), the Emerging Scientist-Practitioner (Year 3), the Doctoral Candidate (Year 4), the Pre- Doctoral Intern (Year 5), and the Doctoral Graduate (Year 6). Students matriculation or progress through each level is competency-based, rather than time-based and thus, is evaluated annually through the annual review process. Students must successfully complete/achieve each level of competency before matriculating onto the next level of training. The training curriculum balances competencies in theoretical, applied, and scientific aspects of psychology and school psychology through a sequence of didactic and experiential training experiences (see the HUSP Doctoral Curriculum Course Sequence & Benchmarks Table below). The HUSP Doctoral program curriculum is designed for students entering at the post- Bachelor s level of study. For graduate students who enter the program with existing graduate-level (Masters) work from Howard or another university, the Program Director, in consultation with core HUSP faculty, will make recommendations by the end of the first semester as to which courses taken elsewhere should be credited toward the HUSP doctorate. If the student wishes to receive credit for one of the core school psychology courses, approval must be obtained from the HUSP faculty teaching that course before a recommendation is made by the Program Director. With regard to other transfer credits (non-core HUSP courses), the student s advisor will make a recommendation to the Program Director and HUSP faculty at large regarding the applicability of the courses/credits of interest. Revised 9-2013

Summary of Field Training Sequence: Practicum and Internship The professional training sequence in School Psychology is designed to incorporate clinical training experiences (integrated with didactic course work) during each year of the program: Year 1: Students complete brief, structured, course-based practical experiences (pre-practicum experiences during the Intro to School Psychology course) designed to increase their understanding of, and exposure to, the roles and functions of School Psychologists. Year 2: Students participate in a structured two-semester Practicum in School Psychology Assessment (1cr each), one day per week in local elementary or middle schools. Students gain experience with various aspects of the assessment process. Clients may present with academic challenges or general behavioral concerns. Year 3: Students complete a structured two-semester Practicum in School Psychology Assessment & Intervention (2cr each), two days a week in local elementary, middle, or high schools. Students gain additional assessment and case conceptualization skills, and engage in direct and indirect intervention services. Clients may present with academic challenges, severe behavior disorders, or social-emotional concerns. Year 4: Students complete a structured two-semester Practicum in School Psychology & Supervision (3cr each), two-three days a week. Students have the option of gaining additional school-based experience, or completing an individualized Practicum designed to provide training in a specialized setting or with a special population; students also gain knowledge and experience in the supervision of psychological services (students will provide supported supervision for junior level graduate students). Clients may present with the full range of academic, social, emotional, and behavioral concerns. Year 5: Students complete a full-time 9-12-month (or part-time 24-month) internship (1800-2000 clock hours total). Client population presents with the full range of academic, social, emotional, and behavioral concerns. Areas of Training: Foundations in Scientific Psychology Theoretical Foundations of Practice Psychological Assessment, Intervention, and Consultation/Prevention (Core) Research Methods & Evaluation Applied Psychology & Field Experiences TOTAL HOURS: 118 credits
