Re: School psychology

[Deb Briihl]

We have both School and Ed psych people on our faculty and the difference 
is in what they do. Ed psych is primarily for training teachers, developing 
materials to help student learning and classroom instruction, etc. They 
have a more experimental background. School psych is part of the 
clinical/counseling/school and can hold a license. They are in schools to 
give psychological tests to students to find out if those students have 
some time of learning, emotional, behavioral, etc. problem and to help 
develop treatment plans. Look at the NASP website - there is a good 
powerpoint slide on what a school psychologist is.

Can anyone tell me the major differences between doctoral programs in school
psychology vs. those in educational psychology? Are there philosohical
differences? Practical?
Also, are there any good websites relevant to this issue?
