School Psychologist Interview

Following the interview conducted with a school psychologist, I was able to obtain a sense of Mrs. Montgomery’s basis for her practice, including her target clients, assumptions and values, goals and various roles of consultation, counseling, intervention and program evaluation (Sandoval, 1986). Mrs. Montgomery may be characterized as a school psychologist who places particular emphasis on the need to improve the student and systems’ capability.

One of the main controversial disputes regarding education is if test taking is actually a beneficial form of a learning technique for students. Within the context of Henry L. Roediger III’s article, How Tests Make Us Smarter, Roediger goes into depth upon how giving students “low-stakes quizzes” could help improve their memory as well as consistent and spread out practice. Psychology In Action, written by both Karen Huffman and Katherine Dowdell, also restates similar learning techniques within their first chapter.

The author performed two separate interviews face-to-face, selecting two individuals with different backgrounds in order to obtain unique perspectives. The first interviewee, named Jennifer Hodge, works for Allen ISD as a special education teacher for a self-contained DEAR (Developing Early Academics Readiness) class for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. In addition, her experience includes teaching for 22 years, with seven of those years teaching students with disabilities in both self-contained classrooms along with resource and inclusion environments. The meeting to discuss psychoeducational testing occurred in Jennifer’s work place during her conference period over a 45 minute period on Friday, August 28, 2015. The second

The interview was done by Jessica Guerrero and interviewee Michele DuVall, who is a school psychologist at Montclair High School. The school is part of the Chaffey Joint Union High School District, the district has 12 schools ranging from high school to adult school.

With today’s advanced technology, those who grade tests do not have to go through and manually check each answer on each individuals test. Instead, when taking the test students fill in a Scantron card or answer document that corresponds with the multiple choice questions in their test booklets. The cards or answer documents are then placed through an electrical scanner and instantly scored. This new scoring process is not only efficient, but also more accurate than any other process attempted in the

I interviewed a Brazilian psychologist. Dr. Nastia Branca Bernadelli Lacerda is a licensed school and clinical psychologist. Doctor Lacerda has been in the clinical and school practice for ten years. She works at a Christian school and also she has a private practice located in the state of Parana. In Brazil, a student become a licensed psychologist after ten years of studying and practice. Lacerda is a Christian counselor who integrates biblical truths as ethical and moral values , such as respect, education, and kindness. “These are biblical truths worked in day by day practice, without necessarily quote the Bible or any doctrine” (personal interview, July 24, 2015). Despite of the fact that I found interesting and agree with Lacerda’s integration

This Tuesday, February 23, 2016, I had the opportunity to interview Carolina Portales. Mrs. Portales is a Pre-K ESL teacher at the elementary school Lorenzo de Zavala in the Grand Prairie Independent School District. Even though I had to wait about an hour to interview her, it was worth it because she was very helpful and kind answering most of my questions. The interview lasted about an hour; it started about 4:00 pm and ended by 5:00 pm. She not only answered most of my questions, as well, she gave me some advices to get ready for my first year of teaching.

I often tried to assert authority over others to get my way. (According to my mom, I once bit a kid’s nose because he wouldn’t share his Legos.) As I overcame my childish behaviors, I discovered satisfaction not only in sharing but in helping others, finding great joy in orchestrating service projects. I kept a tight handle on my team at first, but soon noticed the more freedom each person had, the more creative space our ideas had to expand. Last year, among other projects, we successfully mentored twenty fifth-grade students and raised one thousand dollars towards cancer research.

Learning encounters in expressions of the human experience add to the advancement of scholarly aptitudes, including the ranges of perusing and dialect improvement, and arithmetic. One technique for evaluating these results is institutionalized exams, some of the time alluded to as "paper and pencil" tests.

There comes a time when we all come across a specific test such as school tests, driving test, or even as simple as food tasting test. However, there is a difference between regular tests and testing’s when referring to psychological testing. There are several different psychological tests that many psychiatrists, psychologists, and school counselors use to determine certain abilities, however each of the tests are used for a specific purpose. It is vital for the individuals to contain high knowledge of the tests before applying it to others.
