 Educational Psychologist

from:


An educational psychologist works with young people or children to help them overcome emotional problems, social problems, and learning difficulties in community, family, or educational settings. An educational psychologist usually works directly with students in groups or as individuals. They help and work with social workers, teachers, parents, guardians, and others to understand student’s problems and offer their support in caring for and teaching the students.

The work of an educational psychologist often involves advising education authorities and schools on their practices and policies regarding children with mental health difficulties and special needs. An educational psychologist makes assessments by interviewing and observing the student, talking to parents, teachers, and others that know the child well, and by gathering information about the students progress at home, school, and in other situations. They work with teachers, parents, and other professionals teaching them how to deal with situations such as behavior management or bullying. The educational psychologist provides written reports and makes the necessary recommendation on ways to improve a student’s behavior problems, learning problems, and other disabilities.

The aim of an educational psychologist is to enhance students learning for those having difficulties within an educational setting. They work directly with individual children and assess the child using test materials, interviews, and observation. An educational psychologist provides in-service training for professionals and teachers such as stress management, behavior management, and assessment.

Educational psychology is studying how young people learn in schools and other educational settings, the psychology of teaching, the affectivity of educational interventions, and social psychology. An educational psychologist is concerned with the educational attainment of children with disabilities and gifted children. Each child has an individual profile of challenges, abilities, and characteristics resulting from development and learning. An educational psychologist understand that these appear as individual differences in the thought process, communication, motivation, cognitive style, creativity, and intelligence. In school age children, the most prevalent disabilities are speech disorder, dyslexia, learning disability, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD. Some of the less common disabilities include blindness, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, and mental retardation. The educational psychologist often works with teaching professionals to come up with individualized educational treatment.

An Educational psychologist normally works Monday through Friday, anywhere from thirty-five to forty hours a week although they often have to attend evening meetings. They spend a large portion of their time in an office but also visit nurseries and schools, attend conferences, and run training sessions. The job outlook for an educational psychologist remains very positive and projected to grow faster than average over the next five years.
