Dyson College of Arts and Sciences

25 Students are monitored with respect to attainment of DSK and PWC. At least some portion of the evaluation for each competency area involves direct observation of the student. Some of these competency evaluations are embedded within required practica or coursework. Other evaluations of competency take place through proficiency and competency examinations (e.g. Qualifying Examination, Comprehensive Examination). Students' practica, externship and internship supervisors also provide ratings of competence across the broad range of professional competencies addressed within the program. Students consistently are provided feedback regarding mastery of competencies. Additionally, each student is provided with at least one annual feedback meeting with faculty members in which all information pertaining to both DSK and PWC in school- psychology is gathered, strengths noted, suggestions for growth provided, and an overall evaluation determined. Each student also receives a written evaluation on an annual basis.
