Event Description Clinical
Supervision for Practicing School Psychologists
Tuesdays, 4:15 – 6:15 pm, 9/11, 10/2, 10/16, 10/30, 11/13, 11/27, 12/11/2012. Instructor: Bob Lichtenstein, Ph.D.
Beginning in
Fall 2012, MSPP will offer group supervision for practicing school
psychologists. Clinical supervision
promotes reflective practice, supports ongoing professional development, affords
consultation on legal and ethical issues, and helps practitioners effectively
address the challenges of providing school psychological services. Clinical supervision is essential for ongoing
development of the skills, knowledge, and professional behaviors that enable
schools psychologists to function at a high level and to engage in independent
practice.
Participation
in a clinical supervision group will:
- Promote reflective practice and continued
development of professional knowledge and skills;
- Help the practitioner address challenges in
providing school psychological services; and
- Be applicable toward the 60-hour Supervised Clinical
Experience requirement for the Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP)
credential.
Participants: This
opportunity is open to any graduate of a planned program in school psychology
who is concurrently employed as a school psychologist in Massachusetts. It is intended for school psychologists who have
little or no access to clinical supervision in their jobs, especially early
career school psychologists.
Supervisors: Experienced
school psychology trainers who qualify as an Approved Supervisor, per
Educational Psychologist licensure requirements (see http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/licensee/dpl-boards/mh/regulations/rules-and-regs/262-cmr-500.html).
Schedule: Supervision
groups of up to six (6) participants will meet on a given weekday for 16
two-hour sessions over the course of a school year. Each group has 7 initially scheduled fall
dates, as indicated. The remaining 9 winter/spring
dates will be scheduled with input from group members.
Note: MSPP will not be
offering PDPs or CE credits for this activity, as there is no pre-determined

Fee: $800 for one year (16 Sessions) Location: at MSPP, Newton
