School Psychologist
I learned that school psychologist help kids in social, emotional and mental needs. They help students that are struggling in school, family, and behavior problems. I learn that school psychologist help kids in more problem than child psychologists. They assist students by offering special education support to students who learn stuff slowly than other people. They help students who have low self-esteem. They help student to learn better in school and make good decisions. I learn that school psychologists do not just work at school but in other places. Benefits of working as school psychologist is that you get to work with kids, have a flexible schedule, and you can choose a variety of places you want to work. I might interact with school

I would also meet up with their parents to talk about strengths, weaknesses, developmental, or social problems. I would help the child solve their problems or recommend ways to cope with them. I work very well with children, I am very compassionate, caring, and empathetic. I think that I understand children better than adults because I have always been…

    The responsibilities of school psychologists extend well beyond lending an ear to uneasy parents and troubled administrators about the academic struggles of a student.1 For example, as a researcher, they go through test scores to analyze whether a child is a candidate for special services.2 Other techniques used to assess a child's needs include observation, review of school records, and consultation with parents and school personnel.3 Administration is also a critical component of the occupation, as school psychologists are responsible for maintaining special education reports, confidential records, records of services provided, and behavioral data.4 Although you may know a majority of school psychologists work in the school system, they can also work in other places such as residential treatment centers, mental health agencies, or state their own private practice.…

    Section 1: Social facilitation is influence observers have on peoples or animal’s behaviors (Myers, 2009). When we are being observed doing a complicated task, we tend to perform worse because the presence of others makes us nervous. On the other hand though if we are performing a simple task we perform better and faster than usual in front of an audience (Janowsky, 2010). When a pianist for instance is attempting to learn a new piece in the presence of his classmates, he is more likely to learn more slowly than if he were practicing alone at home. But if this were a piece he had been playing for years, he would play more beautifully in the presence of his audience than if he were alone at home. Social loafing is the difference of someone’s personal performance when he is in a group or alone. Research has shown that when in a group people tend to perform at lower levels than when being rated individually (Myers, 2009). Harkins & others 1980 tug-of-war experiment for example proves that each contestant pulls harder when he thinks he is pulling alone, but not as hard when he sees himself in a group (Myers, 2009). This can also be called free-riding because the individual is leaving more work up to the team than he should. Free-riding is often seen in class projects, when one or two teammates leave the majority of the assigned work for the others to do (Janowsky, 2010).…

    Spending two days shadowing a school nurse was a wonderful experience. I had the pleasure of doing my school nurse rotation at Fox Creek Junior High School. I never realized how difficult and overwhelming it could be to be a school nurse. Ms. Bodauine was the nurse I got to shadow. She spent her day doing paperwork, helping the sick and injured, and doing vision and hearing screenings. There were several kids who came in throughout the day, approximately twenty-one per day that was either sick or injured. Upon each kids visit, I had the opportunity to observe, assess, and communicate with them. I was able to observe behaviors of some children showing Industry vs. Inferiority, according to Erickson. I also observed transitions the kids were experiencing, such as situational, health-illness, developmental, and organizational.…
