School
psychologists help children and youth succeed academically, socially and
emotionally. They collaborate with educators, parents, and other
professionals to create safe, healthy and supportive learning environments
for all students that strengthen connections between homes and school.
School psychologists
are highly trained in both psychology and education. They must complete a
minimum of a post-Master’s degree program that includes a year-long
internship and emphasizes preparation in mental health, child development,
school organization, learning styles and processes, behavior, motivation and
effective teaching.
FCBOE School Psychologists are certified by the state of Georgia (Georgia
Professional Standards Board). Several of our current staff psychologists
are also nationally certified by the National School Psychology
Certification Board
(NSPCB). |
