Description
This graduate-level course in school psychology provides an in-depth review of different theories and methods related to psychological interventions for children and adolescents. Students will learn to integrate psychological science, research, and practice; demonstrate knowledge of theories and research pertinent to mental health service delivery to address academic and social/emotional/ behavioral challenges, and individual and group counseling of school-age children, especially in school settings; and demonstrate the ability to apply their knowledge to the solution of identified client problems.
Throughout the course, students will also work with peers at partner institutions abroad (e.g., Chinese University of Hongkong) to examine positive psychology, socio-emotional learning, and address school bullying. This is a Global Classrooms course, developed in partnership with the Global Learning Initiatives Office (GLI) in the Office of International Affairs (OIA) to provide virtual opportunities for global engagement.
