Join the discussion with #psychedpodcast to learn about Division 16’s Early Career Professionals Workgroup!

Division 16 Early Career Professional Workgroup

Handouts:

Early Career Professionals (ECPs), individuals within ten years of the receipt of their degree, are a unique group with particular needs within the field of psychology. In line with Division’s 16 continued interests in meeting the needs of their members, the Early Career Workgroup was established to better address the needs of ECPs in the field of School Psychology. Since it’s inception, members of Division 16’s ECP Workgroup have worked to increase ECP-focused programming and engage ECPs within School Psychology, including practitioners and academicians, within the Division. In 2014, the Workgroup was recognized as the Runner-up for Early Career engagement across APA’s divisions.

Julie A. Grossman has worked as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist in Prince George’s County Public Schools, Maryland since July, 2014. She received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Rochester and her Master of Arts and Doctorate of Philosophy in School Psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park. She has authored three publications and presented over twenty posters and workshops at different local, national, and international conferences and meetings. Her professional and research interests include home-school partnerships, parent involvement and engagement, and school-based mental health. Julie also is involved, including leadership roles, in several local, state, and national-level school psychology related organizations, such as the American Psychological Association, Division 16- Early Career Professional Workgroup, National Association for School Psychologists, Maryland School Psychology Association, and the Prince George’s County School Psychologists’ Association.

Episode 46

This is a follow-up from Episode 22! Check in with Riplie, Alyska, and Krista to see how their internship has gone, what shocked them the most, and to hear their advice for future interns. Participate live with #psychedpodcast!

Riplie currently is finishing his internship in the Portland area. He has two internship supervisors, three sites, and recently graduated last week with his Educational Specialist Degree. During his internship, Riplie helped pilot a SEL curriculum at the primary level, co-facilitated a DBT group at the secondary level and was part of a trauma response team. Now that he has graduated his current goals are staying on top of his evaluations and getting back to a somewhat normal schedule.

Krista Klabo is completing her internship at two different locations in Denver, CO. She spends three days a week at a private school for students that have been identified as gifted or twice-exceptional. Her students are from urban Denver with various exceptionalities and learning differences. She spends her other two days a week at the department of education as the Intensive Support Coordinator in the Exceptional Student Services Unit. Krista has a different supervisor for each site that oversee her work. During the past year, Krista has been able to implement a school wide SEL curriculum, conduct various groups, conduct individual counseling, and consult with staff on differentiation and best practices for 2E students.

Alyska is in her third and final year at western Carolina university in North Carolina. She is currently completing her internship in North Carolina as well. Her internship site is rather rural, which has given her some interesting experiences. She is serving as the sole school psychologist in an elementary and a middle school; however, she’s supervised by the lead school psychologist of the district with whom she meets once a week to discuss cases cases and have her approve reports. She will be graduating May 5th, so she is very near the end!
