Thank you for sharing your knowledge, but the PSW is a junk science. There are multiple papers critiquing the PSW model; you should read them. Here is one: DOI 10.1007/s40688-016-0094-x

Hi Tiffany, I hope you're doing well! I wanted to check if you’re looking for a video editor and thumbnail designer for your KZbin channel. I'd love to help enhance your content and visuals. Let me know if you're interested! Best regards,

I just got into my first school psych program, your channel has been incredibly helpful!

Thank you very much! I'm starting my masters degree after 2 years working. I felt really anxious and underprepared all this time, but after your advise I feel slightly better. T_T love ya

prepping for my interview tmrw!

With having you change your terms they were trying to change you into their employee.

Can a school psychologist specialist program enable you to have independent practice?

Thank you sm for this video!! I am planning to apply to grad school programs soon and appreciate all the helpful tips :)

Hi Tiffany. This is a great topic and it appears to be a mile long and an inch deep. First, I am a school psychologist with 20-years experience. I even have a Ph.D. I also hate my job and have hated it for several years but the pay and family obligations keep me stuck and miserable as well as depressed within my position. I haven't found a way out yet despite even going to therapists and career counselors. Trouble is, the older you are or should I say the more obligations one has and the more experience one has the harder it is to get out of the trap of schools. If one doesn't have a license to practice independently, there are no real good options in my estimation. Having said that, because I have sought so many paths that didn't work out is perhaps the best that can come from this video's message is for people to come together in a sort of "virtual think tank" and pull our resources together to find something new to turn into a career that one can make money and be happy, positive, and growth fulfilling. I dread every Sunday and have been for many years. It's such a terrible way to go and not supportive of a mentally and emotionally healthy lifestyle for sure. I suggest people come together and really think about if there is anything in the field of school psychology they did like? What it was? What they absolutely hated about the field? If they had any good experiences within the field and what that was? For me, the politics, controlling administration, lack of funds, I hate having to be somewhere at a certain time and leave at a certain time (I need flexibility, life happens right?), I need to be around positive, like-minded people, etc. You get the picture. If anyone is interested in a think tank around breaking out of the field of school psychology let me know. 🙂

Thank you for this info :) first year students benefit from this!

Tiffany - Thank you SO much for this video! It was VERY helpful. I took notes and will be looking into these options. Seriously thank you for taking the time to research and film this :)

Omg small world ㅇ i live in fairfax right near GMU! Im definitely considering school psychology !

I am sure you aren't as bad at writing as you think/thought. Imposter syndrome can be a hell of a thing :) Very informative video, thank you. I'm very intrigued by this field as I am passionate about education issues, but had no interest in being an actual teacher and def not in going into straight up politics or advocacy unless I had education field experience in the first place. Of course, I also love kids and psych.

In California a PPS is also required for school counselors. I did my practicum and internshipsfor school counseling in an elementary school and 90% of groups were run by the school counselor. The school psych did not collaborate much and mostly did assessments and eligibility. Most crisis intervention was tackled by the school counselor and sometimes with the principal. Behaviors were managed by the team of Principal, school counselor and TOSA Teacher on Special Assignment depending on severity and the rapport the student might have with any of those stakeholders. I've found that the school climate and tasks are so different from school to school. I will be ensuring I ask who my team will be and my responsibilities when i begin to interview. I graduate this coming May! Side note: I was going to do school psych but then realized I wouldn't be able to do as many fun and creative groups and events with students because of all the assessments so I opted for school counseling. After my internships I know i made the right choice.

40-50 pages?? For school psychology program? Would this be for one assignment?

Thank you for sharing this interview. It was so inspiring! I'm in my first semester of my EdS, and I feel like I've been on the struggle bus for weeks now. One of my teachers actually assigns your content for us to watch for her classes! I really needed to hear this interview and will check out Dr. Bennett's book. Tiffany, your channel is so great.

An advice for an international student wanting to pursue school psychology?

This video validated how I feel about Cognitive Assessment 1 class! I completed my first check out and admin, about to complete my 2nd, and about to type my first psychological report (for the WJ!) It was definitely a class that one has to be on top of to not fall behind, but Im grateful for the support systems I have and a good/helpful teachers assistant too! Thank you for that validation and the planner idea is definitely great!! I bought one for this year and one for next year! So excited to continue my first year as a specialist student in School Psych! Your videos are for sure motivating. I’m also hungry now after watching you and your friend eat! LOL!! Thank you both for sharing your experiences!!!

ABA therapy should be outlawed you wouldn't put your dog through the same kind of training I have ASD-2 I love being autistic I wouldn't change anything about myself as I would not be the person that I am today I am a 56 year old woman with autism granted my life wasn't easy it was a bit of a struggle I'm not going to lie I may not have a lot of friends but the ones I have seem to be really good quality friends and has lasted for many years we are not broken we don't need fixed we don't need pity although a little understanding would help us get along a lot better don't treat us like we are brainless or infantile just be patient with us we do take a little longer to process information as we are constantly getting bombarded by information we see the world in a completely different way as our minds are wired differently than every other person other than another autistic person we are not a shell of a human to be molded whatever way you see fit guy that invented ABA was a lunatic that kind of therapy doesn't do anything but cause the child to feel like they're wrong feel like they're hated disliked and teaches them to be nothing more than a puppet a subservient lower class and unworthy human and we're not we should be taught to embrace our autism and use what we are good at are special interests are hyper focus things we are just plain interested in doing and will go much further because of most neurotypical people I spent 56 years thinking I was worthless that I was not good at anything and just playing good for nothing which I learned that I was autistic at age 56 and just had a different way of thinking which means I'm still a perfectly good human being I just have a different way of thinking and that I'm a good person and that I'm also good at some things and not as good at other things and I don't have to be so hard on myself and love myself more for just being me and and I really enjoy art music although I can't play any instrument I like video games found out I'm quite good at them but I still wouldn't change a thing about myself I would not get rid of the autism that I have as it is a part of me it makes me who I am so I have one more thing left to say just help the autistic kids be the best kids they can be by letting them be themselves as they are not broken and they're not a puzzle to be fixed they should just be loved for who they are a perfectly good autistic person

Так здорово! Очень интересное видео и я очень рада, что нашла Вас, моя коллега❤ Вы вдохновили меня поработать усерднее над моим кабинетом школьного психолога, чтобы он был такой же уютный как у Вас!!!! 👍 Удачи и хороших дней!

Help, how do you become a school psychologist? like what are the degree titles' you need to earn.. & are the requirements the same to be a school counselor? not sure how much of a difference :/ tyyyy!

I’m a BCBA looking into dual school psychology

Thank you Tiffany!

“also played some uno” is so real lol

Sweet

Do you need to be a licensed therapist or something similar to be a SP?

Also, you can get your licensed education psychologist (LEP) license and have a private practice but maybe this applies to CA? Is this also needed to become an independent school psychologist?

Hey Tiffany! thanks for sharing this video! I was wondering how you create these videos on KZbin? Do you record via Zoom and upload the video? I have a podcast and wanted to try this method. Thanks! -Elsie

Hello Tiffany! Can you make a video on applying and interviewing for jobs?

What are the requirements to apply for the masters

What masters did you do ? Does it have to be school psych or can it be counseling etc

I work in education. I love it. I hate too at some points, but overall, I am proud of what I do. I will begin my masters program soring 2025, psychology.

One of my goals this year is to present my reports in a way that are more consumer friendly. Thank you for the tips!

Looking to start my masters program in the spring of 2025, masters in psychology. I am lucky to have a thorough background working in education. I came here for the information! I feel you on those school breaks throughout the school year.

thank you for sharing this

I have an interview tomorrow and this video was really insightful and informative. TY for sharing

Couple questions as I’m looking to pick this as gsce options ect!! - what are work hours like? - what is the salary like? -how expensive is the education n stuff to get to the job? (Idk if that makes sense lol) If you don’t want to answer them then dw!

Hi Tiffany! I started seeing your videos after watching MrsSchoolPsych’s videos and the vid you both did. Your information and here motivated me/was so helpful in my application process. I just got accepted to a school psych program (specialist program) and was wondering if it’d be possible to connect via email or IG message. I didn’t want to follow on IG without first asking! I believe you mentioned being in ESOL (English for Students who speak other Languages) and as someone who is a bilingual professional /was in ESOL herself, it’s motivating to see you in the field. I’m also a first time mom and would love to know your tips on juggling this program and a child! :)

Passing score is 147

Hi this is amazing! I am applying to Columbia this year and just wanted to know… what your gpa was, mins is 3.46 and I haven’t taken the GRE, any tips for gre and how long did you study for ? Also what should I add on my resume that will make it more competitive, I don’t have research experience but I’ve been a behavior therapist for 5 years. Btw love your videos ❤

So, basically, you don't do anything but vlog al day and get a tax payers pay check? Got it.

I am from Algeria I have a master’s degree in school psychology. Can I authenticate my degree and work abroad?

We spent the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s dismantling systemic racism in the U.S. yet there still is racism because racism is a SOCIAL DISEASE that is generally taught in the home. Reject racism. By the way, Black Lives Matter turned out to be a money grab.

I love that you posted this as I'm currently looking for positions

Awesome interview video! Very informative!

It is the worst lowest type of pavlov blackmail

I loved the interview! Your videos have motivated and inspired me through the depths of application season last year. This Fall I’ll be starting my PhD in School Psych! 😍 Thank you so much for putting in the time to create these amazing videos for us ❤
