School Psychology Program
Providing Comprehensive Psychological Services
to ALL Children
Mission Statement
The foundation for the
School Psychology program at The Ohio State
University is based on socio-cultural theories
of psychological and educational practices
with youth. Socio-cultural theories encompass
social cognition and social behavioral
principles of understanding and working with a
diversity of youth in America's schools.
Children do not experience life in a vacuum,
but do so within socio-cultural contexts such
as school, home, and community. The focus of
the School Psychology program is service
delivery across many different settings with a
particular emphasis on children in urban
settings. Within this framework, students are
trained as scientist-practitioners who
function as data-based decision makers and
collaborative problem solvers. The program has
a commitment to diversity at the research,
training, and service levels. |
