May 31

Today was a slow day mostly just paperwork and things along those lines had to be done. Easy day to start the week and I can't wait to see what else is in store.

Week One Reflection

This whole week has been a great experience. It has really shown me all the hard work that goes into being a school psychologist. I have really enjoyed working with the children and learning many new things. It has been very fun and interesting to learn how psychologists work in schools and the amount of things they need to do for each of the children they help. I thought it was fascinating to learn about the ways IQ test are administered. I am really looking forward to what next week brings.

Today I got to observe some classes and work with the children it was a very interesting time. I got to see a few different classes and see the different dynamics between the students in each of the classes. I also got to observe some more psychological testing today which was very interesting.

Today was an good day. I learned about some different psychological and placement tests (such as IQ test) that are given by the school for the children. I even watched one of the tests being administered and really got to see how all the little components work  and the different catagories that are focused on.

Day two: May 24, 2011

On my second day, I sat through many different meetings between the psychology department at the school. It was very enlightening to learn how everyone works together to help the students and their families. I thought it was very interesting to learn how they work to help each child with special needs.

internship first day May 23,2011

I am interning at Sheperds  Glen school in Hamden and have been working with the school psychologist. The first day was mostly comprised of learning my way around the school and meeting some children and the people that work at the school. Altogether it was a very eventful day and a very interesting insight into how the school system funcions.
