CSP 610D: Determinants of Human Behavior: Learning
CSP 610D combines theoretical and practical study of the issues of human learning and thinking. Students explore advanced theories and sociocultural contexts of learning, and apply the paradigms of dynamic assessment, cognitive modifiability, and mediated learning to assessment-based interventions for learning. Strong theoretical focus is placed on Jensen’s Cognitive and Knowledge Structure Development, and its precursor Feuerstein’s Theory of Cognitive Modifiability. Students are expected to master a working knowledge of cognitive functions and mediating interactions, perform evaluations, write reports of those evaluations, and to design culturally, developmentally and instructionally appropriate interventions.
CSP 780: School Psychology Internship.
CSP 780, Internship Seminar in School Psychology, is the final professional seminar of the School Psychology Program. Its purpose is to support the final professional development phase of the preparation program, demonstrating successful practice and outcomes across seven areas of competence. Within the professional seminar, we model collaboration, support ongoing professional development and learning, promote the broad based role of the school psychologist as a change agent in cross cultural and multi-cultural environments, support the enhancement of all competencies of the interns, and extend their professional networking.
CSP 710B: Profession Seminar in School Psychology
CSP 760: Profession Seminar in School Psychology
CSP 710B (Fall) and CSP 760 (Spring) Professional Seminars are taken concurrently with CSP 780, Internship Seminar in School Psychology. These seminars support the development of the interns’ articulation of their competencies, and supports the development of their final portfolios. They are listed together because they work in a sequential continuum with one another.
CSP 710B: focuses on the conceptual articulation of individual service delivery within the context of the seven major areas of competence of the School Psychology Program. Using the Vision and Outcomes statements of the program as a springboard, students begin to integrate their three to four years of practical and academic experience and their internship goals development into conceptual areas. This conceptual integration, and the collegial interactions surrounding it will culminate in statements of professional identity and professional service delivery models.
CSP 760 : supports the written articulation of competencies and the demonstration of outcomes which interns have achieved over the course of their program. Students are encouraged to integrate their personal experiences, cultural contexts, and professional identities in this conceptualization, and to support their own statements with documentation. The seminar focuses on the writing and documentation processe
