SPYF 590 Internship in School Psychology

The School Psychology internship is a 10- to 12-month (1200-hour) full-time experience in broad areas of school psychology, under the supervision of university, experiential learning, and peer-group supervisors. Consistent with NASP best practice guidelines for internship, interns are expected to have sufficient breadth and depth of experiences within domains as specified by NASP and the FLDOE. Interns are expected to achieve competency in at least one domain upon completion of the internship. Upon successful completion of SPY 590 and the experiential learning via internship experience, students will be eligible to apply for state certification as a school psychologist. There are three terms of the internship course during the year for a total of 6 credits. A monthly internship seminar at the university level will be conducted during the candidate's internship year. The primary purpose of the internship seminar is to provide an additional opportunity for interns to firm up and expand their developing knowledge base and skills with feedback and support from University faculty and fellow interns from other settings. Additional internship information is available in the Florida School Psychology Internship Handbook.
