Integrating Experience in School Psychology

Integrating Experience includes four elements:

  1. Portfolio (professional variety — as a ‘paper’ product and a web version)
  2. Praxis (the high-stakes examination for school psychologists)
  3. Presentation (on-campus and at the NASP Convention)
  4. Products (demonstration of technological competency)

These can all be considered 'mastery-based' destinations with clear outcome measures. Essentially, the following is required for completion of these KSU SPSY benchmarks ...

  1. Prepare your pre-professional Portfolio in a format that is readied for inclusion of your internship products. This generally means excising class-related products and boosting the CV to reflect your new status as an intern/neophyte professional.
  2. Completing the Praxis Examination at least to the ODE benchmark; ideally, you'll pass at the OBP levels (note that both of these are in the process of being redefined).
  3. The Proposal for the NASP Convention is due in mid-June ~ this should be completed with CSM's assistance and posted to the NASP portal prior to the due-date. This same proposed 'Inservice' for professionals will be scheduled for on-campus presentation during the 'Issues and Approaches' meeting scheduled at the start of the second semester of internship.
  4. The standards for technological competence are detailed within http://www.ehhs.kent.edu/spsy/technology.cfm where there is a self-evaluation checklist. The product required to indicate mastery is a self-audit ~ with checks completed by CSM to confirm that you have the necessary skills.

  1. Syllabus for Integrating Experience and the schedule for Presentations for Integrating Experience (posted once available)
  2. There are suggestions provided to help you craft a professional Handout for NASP (and the on-campus rehearsal day), as well as some pointers on developing a set of PowerPoint Slides to support your talk. And, there are even some hints on refining your verbal presentation.
  3. The Integrating Experience is supported by a password protected web-based instructional center exclusively dealing with the Praxis Examination (for which the password is provided separately to enrolled students).
  4. A page dealing with Portfolios has also been developed to provide background to this element of the class requirements. Additional information is archived at the SPSY program's website (See: Portfolio Rubric).
