Field Experiences

Field experiences provide opportunities for school psychology candidates to practice and master skills consistent with the reflective practitioner model of the FSEHD Conceptual Framework and NASP's Practice Model. Certified field supervisors and college-based faculty members oversee practicum and internship experiences. 

Practicum Experiences

During year two, candidates complete a full-year practicum experience in a supervised K-12 school setting. A minimum of 400 practicum hours (approximately two full days per week) must be completed by candidates. In addition to training in a school setting, year two candidates attend weekly seminars where field-based experiences are integrated with best practices in school psychology. 

Internship Experiences

During year three, candidates complete a full-year internship experience in a supervised K-12 school setting. A minimum of 1,200 internship hours (five full days per week), must be completed by candidates. In addition to training in a school setting, interns attend weekly seminars where field-based experiences are integrated with best practices in school psychology.
