The purpose of the UWL school psychology program is to train school psychologists who will function in educational settings as advocates for children, pupil service providers, experts in the assessment of children, psychoeducational consultants who use effective problem-solving strategies, and experts in the design and delivery of effective psychological and educational interventions. Graduates of the program are employed in public schools or in educational agencies that serve public schools.<br><br>The emphasis of the program is to prepare school psychologists who are effective teacher, parent, and school consultants. Along with consultation, graduate students are trained to provide effective interventions. The program also emphasizes a pupil services model which addresses the educational and mental health needs of all children, from early childhood through high school. The school psychology knowledge base includes areas of professional school psychology, educational psychology, psychological foundations, educational foundations, and mental health. To provide psychological services in educational settings, graduates of the school psychology program must also have considerable knowledge of curriculum, special education, and pupil services.<br><br>Our program has made advances over the past years on including diversity and social justice-related material in all of our coursework and now have dedicated two entire courses to understanding and working in a diverse society. In keeping with the NASP Social Justice goal, we see equity and social justice as a key opportunity for school psychologists to make systemic changes to the educational environment.
