Abstract
Given recent tragedies in the schools across the nation, mental-health programs have been a focus of discussion in the United States. School Psychologists are equipped with a strong foundation of empirical knowledge to address systemic obstacles that may permeate through our education system. Products in this portfolio demonstrate the depth and breadth of skills acquired during formal training and professional experience providing comprehensive school psychological services per the domains of competency as articulated by the Humboldt State University School Psychology Graduate Program. This portfolio further explores the role of the School Psychologist in positive behavior interventions and supports and a response to intervention model for both academic and social-behavioral concerns. Products build upon the foundational knowledge and skills which demonstrate the role of a school psychologist in supporting systemic changes in schools. Recommendations include the continuing development of the school psychologist as consultant and collaborator with families, community agency providers and state legislators.
