5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Internship (SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY) 

Thanks Riah! Cheers to a new year!

Thanks Steven! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

Thanks so much for watching! Being a first gen student comes with many challenges- you and your family must be so proud! Let me know if you have any questions about grad school or school psychology :)

Thanks Ivie! It's not always easy but it's so important! I get nervous sometimes 😬

it's so cool that you can relate. i think most trainees feel like imposters and some degree of that is probably not a bad thing!

Hey Stephan! Good luck on your app process👏🏻

@@TiffanyLee thank you again...you are almost done!

I've learned to look at deleted messages or search through my calendar for the event. I don't know why it has to disappear though! Thanks for watching :D

Hey Riley! Congratulations on the interviews!! I would love to make a video with some interview tips.I highly recommend doing some research about the program and faculty (research interests, focus of the program, etc) and practicing interview questions. They usually ask what you know about the field and why you want to pursue it. They'll also ask a slew of questions about yourself (strengths and weaknesses, experiences working with kids, how you deal with conflict, etc). Make sure you come with questions to ask and just be yourself! You're already qualified if they called you for an interview and they probably want to see if you're a good fit with their program. Hope this helps!

I wish I had known this in the beginning! Why does it get deleted when you accept it, though?!🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey! So the amount of counseling you do as a school psychologist pretty much depends on which grade levels you work with and your job description from your county. I also think your school culture can impact your role. Typically, you'll do less testing and more counseling and crisis management in middle and high school just due to their age and stage in life. If your county and psych department advocates for mental health and SEL, you will most likely do more small group counseling and interventions. However, if a county views your role as a sped gate keeper/ testing machine (and you're in elementary), that may end up becoming the bulk of your role. Additionally, if your ratios are insane, you might not have the time to ever do anything outside of testing, which is why our ratios need to improve. Hope this helps!

@@TiffanyLee thank you so much girl ! This really helped !!!! Good luck on your journey ! I will be tuning in !! 💜

Hey! Have you checked out my videos on rating my grad school books yet? I mention a few that are good resources for the field. In addition to that, I'm planning to get my hands on the RTI book by chidsey.

Psychologists in my county don't attend IEP meetings but we go to eligibility meetings (which I found were basically IEP meetings in california?). My supervisor attends eligibilities with me but my friends are in districts where that's not the case. I think it depends on your district's expectations of interns and what the program entails

Hey Katie! Feel free to DM me on instagram @schoolpsychtiffany or email me at tiffanyjleee@gmail.com

We had at least one practicum class every semester 😊

@@TiffanyLee oh how interesting! ours is set up so that after our first year in the program our second year is an entire long practicum before internship!
