Abstract
This paper dually represents the culmination of professional experiences and development that occurred over the span of a yearlong internship and serves as an overview of the encompassing roles and responsibilities of a school psychologist. Final products emanating from a yearlong internship are reviewed and used to demonstrate continued growth and capability ascribing to the ten domains set forth by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) as required areas of documented competency for school psychologists. Interwoven throughout all selected products is the emphasis on data-based decision making and the importance of the school psychologist's role as an integral team player in rendering preventative and intervention services to ensure positive and successful educational trajectories for students.
