WINTER PRACTICUM: Text books required for CPSE 602 (Child Social/Emotional Assessment and Intervention), CPSE 609 (Academic Assessment and Intervention), & CPSE 751 (Multicultural)

SPRING PRACTICUM: Text books required for CPSE 655 (Crisis Intervention) COURSE DESCRIPTION:Advanced Practicum is designed to provide skill-building experiences for school psychology students in their second year. Students are assigned to either an elementary, secondary, or alternative school setting (or a combination of settings) for 10 hours per week over a 13 week period, totaling a minimum of 130 hours of practicum experience per semester and a minimum of 300 hours of practicum prior to internship. This experience requires students to take a more active role in consulting and collaboration; collecting data and conducting assessment for intervention; designing, implementing, monitoring, and refining interventions based on data-based decision making (individual, classroom, and school wide); providing counseling intervention (group and individual); and participating in other school psychology roles and functions.

The Practicum is a closely supervised experience, providing opportunities to fulfill assignments associated with university courses. Practicum also provides students with the opportunity to develop and demonstrate competencies. During fall semester, students primarily focus on developing and demonstrating competencies in behavioral assessment (CPSE 614) and consultation (CPSE 610). During winter semester practicum focuses on social/emotional assessment and intervention (CPSE 602); a multicultural project to demonstrate competency in serving students and families from diverse backgrounds (CPSE 751); and academic assessment and intervention, using data to inform practice (CPSE 609). During spring semester, students participate in crisis intervention (CPSE 655) and program evaluation, evaluating school-based crisis prevention and intervention programs and facilitating the effectiveness of that program. NOTE: Additionally, prior to internship, students are required to conduct a minimum of one group and one individual counseling case, each over a period of 6 weeks.

During practicum, students are required to integrate their knowledge with practice. Additionally, assigned readings, summaries of current research, reviews of intervention strategies, and class presentations on pertinent topics are reviewed during practicum class. This provides students with an arsenal of cutting edge research-based interventions. Students put their knowledge into practice as they problem solve in their school setting, developing prevention/intervention plans, collecting data, and monitoring effectiveness of interventions. Students are required to collect work samples, qualitative and quantitative data demonstrating their competency. Their developing professional competency must be linked to data demonstrating results: evidence of a positive impact in the lives of children, families, and schools.

In summary, practicum provides “hands on” opportunities to blend academic learning and research with practice. Students are required to document their work, keeping a time log of activities and compiling a portfolio with work samples and data to demonstrate the effectiveness of their work during their practicum year. In particular, students are required to document data-based decision making and to monitor the effectiveness of interventions across time.

Supervision: Each practicum student is assigned to a site-based supervisor who holds a valid state license as a school psychologist or, in a non-school setting, a licensed psychologist. The site supervisor provides one hour of planned, face-to-face, individualized supervision each week. Site supervisors model professional activities and also directly observe the practicum student in the school setting, providing feedback and suggestions for

4

Page 5: Brigham Young University - BYU McKay School of Education · Web viewBrigham Young University School Psychology Program Practicum and Internship Site Evaluation To be completed by

improvement. Practicum students also attend and participate in weekly group supervision conducted by university faculty. The university professor visits students on-site each semester to observe, monitor, document, and evaluate student practicum activities and developing competencies.

Time Log: Students maintain a time log documenting their activities (formulas for excel spreadsheet provided). The site supervisors review and sign weekly time logs, monthly summary logs, and a one-sheet summary of semester activities. The university professor signs monthly and semester time log summaries.

Portfolio : Practicum students collect and organize evidence of their developing competencies. For example, work samples may include case consultation notes, CPSE 610 consultation family project, assessments and reports identifying research-based interventions and demonstrating data-based decision making, and formative and summative evaluations of site-based and university supervisors. Additionally, the portfolio should also include class projects aligned with course objectives.A list is attached that describes the required elements to be included in the portfolio.

FALL PRACTICUM OBJECTIVES:

(1) In determining the need for and type of supportive intervention, practicum students will demonstrate the ability to collect and integrate a variety of formal and informal assessments. Information is collected from a variety of settings and sources (classroom, recess, lunch room, home; student, teacher, and parent).

(2) Based on assignments from CPSE 614 (Behavioral Assessment and Intervention), practicum students will conduct behavioral observations for students representing various ages, disabilities, and backgrounds, integrating behavioral observations into a report/summary to provide key information designed to assist in developing interventions. Additionally, practicum students will monitor the effectiveness of interventions by collecting data across time.

(3) Based on the CPSE 610 family project, practicum students will document developing competencies related to facilitating supportive consultation with parents and teachers and monitoring the effectiveness of collaborative efforts to facilitate positive changes.

(4) Practicum students will demonstrate appropriate professional attitude and behavior including establishing and maintaining effective working relationships with staff, supervisors and colleagues to be assessed during faculty site visit and by site-supervisor. (See attached form: Evaluation of Professional Competencies).

(5) Practicum students will demonstrate personal traits conducive to effective learning and professional development, including sensitivity to and productive growth from constructive feedback. These competencies are evaluated by the faculty and site-supervisor. (See attached form: Evaluation of Professional Competencies).

(6) Practicum students will demonstrate the ability to exercise sound professional judgment and ethical behavior in real-life situations. Students will demonstrate their ability to cope with, face, and resolve an ethical dilemma by using the 9-step ethical problem solving model (provided in CPSE 710 and included in the Student Handbook).

(7) NOTE: Optional, but must be addressed prior to internship: Practicum students will demonstrate competency in positively influencing the behavior change process through determining the need for, developing a plan for, and implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of individual and group counseling intervention.

1000 = TOTAL

A = 940 - 1000A- = 900 - 939B+ = 860 - 899B = 820 - 859B- = 795 - 819 NOTE: Students earning a score below 795 will be required to re-take the course. Additionally if a student scores below 180 on class participation and/or below 270 on faculty site visit evaluation will receive “needs improvement” or “unsatisfactory” on their faculty semester evaluation. Additionally, if the site supervisor notes critical weakness or problems with a particular practicum student, that student will receive “needs improvement” or “unsatisfactory” on their faculty semester evaluation. A remediation plan will be developed for students receiving less than satisfactory ratings.

Report Writing FormatA recommended practice for conducting the psycho-educational assessment is the Referral Question Consultation Model. The report must also reflect the “problem solving model.” In this model, assessment personnel:

Review all existing data,Meet with the referral source to behaviorally define initial concerns and need for

additional data,Test for some initial hypothesis, and determine the goal of the assessment,Develop a hypothesis and determine which tests will specifically answer the referral

questions and facilitate the link between assessment and intervention (Select a multi-trait, multi-method assessment procedure),

Develop data-based referral questions that will guide the assessment process and confirm or reject the generated hypothesis, (these are generally listed in the reason for referral section of report)

Apply the assessment and background data to answer the referral questions, Identify and select intervention strategies and recommendations, and

Develop a written report that documents this process (Batsche, 1984).

Pscho-Educational Report Writing Format:

Identifying InformationStudent’s NameBirth-date- Age GradeSchoolAssessment DateExaminer (including title and degree)

Reason for ReferralThis should include precipitating events that led up to the referral. Who initiated the referral? Include information from school personnel and family. If there is a relevant documented history, it too can be briefly included here. This section succinctly states the referral question which will follow through the entire report. In other words: What is the purpose of this assessment?

Background InformationData does not exist in a vacuum. Issues such as current living arrangements and significant family information, prenatal and neonatal development, developmental milestones, temperament, reported strengths and weaknesses, previous school achievement (behavioral and academic), family issues, previous diagnoses, use of medication, attendance, etc. should be included in this section. Use this section to identify information gained through the interview and documented on the social history form. This section should only include information that is relevant to the assessment. Irrelevant past history and student descriptors such as, average build, blonde hair, etc. are usually irrelevant to understanding the student’s school problems.

Behavioral ObservationsThis is a snapshot of the student’s behavior that you have observed. Indicate rapport, resistance, anxiety, and approach to the task, test motivation and a statement of test validity.

Validity of Assessment Results (Test Caveat): Are the results of this assessment considered to be a valid representation of the student’s functioning? Concerns about the validity of test results must be noted. List factors affecting the assessment’s validity. Also list cautions to consider when drawing conclusions based on assessment data. When assessing students from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds, always explain testing limitations and cautions for interpreting test results, particularly for those assessments that have not included individuals of similar background in the standardization sample.

Assessment ResultsResults should be listed numerically in a table, followed by a brief, objective narrative. Use standard scores, not raw scores. Avoid grade equivalent scores. Include one sentence describing the purpose and format of the test. Results should be listed in the same order as stated above. Results should indicate strengths and difficulties. List the most salient strengths and difficulties that are related to the referral question.

SummaryThis section addresses the referral question. This section contains a brief summary of pertinent test findings and a statement of whether you consider the assessment results to be valid (if not, briefly explain what factors contributed to questionable testing results). You also briefly state you clinical impressions that either support or refute identification of a handicapping condition and potential eligibility for special education services. HOWEVER, your report is information for the team to assist

48

Page 49: Brigham Young University - BYU McKay School of Education · Web viewBrigham Young University School Psychology Program Practicum and Internship Site Evaluation To be completed by

them in identifying appropriate interventions and to also assist them in making a decision to identify or not to identify a student for special education services. Identification of handicapping conditions and eligibility for special education services is a TEAM decision.

RecommendationsThe first recommendation should be related to an eligibility statement, unless further testing is warranted, then that should be the first recommendation. Suggest that the results of this assessment should be reviewed by the IEP team in order to discuss the possible need for special education services. REMEMBER: Eligibility is determined by the IEP team, not solely by the results of your assessment. Your assessment will assist the team in determining eligibility. Academic/programming recommendations are listed next. Social/emotional/behavioral recommendations should follow. Recommendations should always be driven by the referral questions. Subheadings are helpful to organize your recommendations. Avoid using terms such as “should” or “required.” Tentative terms such as “may be beneficial” are preferable. All recommendations should be anchored in “best practices” and should be supported by current research.

Signature LineYour title is School Psychology Practicum Student. Use this title on all written documents. Supervisors must co-sign your reports and list their title: Practicum Supervisor.
