Education Specialist - School Psychology

The Chicago School's Ed.S. School Psychology program establishes a firm foundation for those interested in becoming licensed school psychologists who treat and empower students, families, and communities to bring about positive change.

The program's philosophy embraces the premise that the creation of humane and effective learning environments requires the application of professional judgment acquired through the integration of educational and psychological theory, scholarship, and professional practice. Further, The Chicago School endorses a deep commitment to understanding and respecting individual and cultural differences, while considering the systems in which the individual functions. The expected outcome of this method is consistent with the role of the “master” school psychologist who is able to treat and empower students, families, and communities to bring about positive change, plan preventive services, and enhance both educational and psychological problem-solving at all levels.
