CORA Services is seeking a Full-Time School Psychologist, who will join our team in providing services to Nonpublic schools located throughout the city of Philadelphia. Our school psychologists function within a multi-disciplinary team in their assigned school(s), providing consultation, screenings, and psychoeducational evaluations, as well as interpreting this information to parents and/or other professionals. As employees of CORA Services, the school psychologists have access to supervisory support for clinically complex cases and for logistical needs related to their day-to-day work, and have access to ongoing professional trainings and conferences sponsored by CORA. Working in Nonpublic School settings allows the school psychologist more flexibility to set their own schedule, to recommend interventions and other instructional strategies to be trialed within the classroom before students of concern are referred for full evaluations, to prioritize quality over quantity with regard to completing evaluations, and to provide recommendations and referrals that will foster the strengths and address the needs of evaluated students both inside and outside of school.
Working as a School Psychologist with CORA, you will:
- Provide consultative services to school staff, parents, students, and other members of their multi-disciplinary school teams.
- Administer psychoeducational testing to determine needs of students.
- Compile psychosocial histories on families and children assigned for evaluation.
- Conduct interpretive sessions concerning all screenings and evaluations they administer to students.
- Write all reports pertaining to psychoeducational services provided to students.
- Participate in all procedures to facilitate educational placement of students.
- Consult with school personnel and families to assist with the development and implementation of modifications and accommodations to support academic and functional skills development of students with disabilities.
- Participate in all necessary multi-disciplinary school team functions, including regular meetings.
- Adhere to agency guidelines and requirements concerning caseload management, record- keeping, and accountability.
- Contribute to regular psychology staff meetings where best practices and systematic approaches to problem-solving are discussed.
Qualified Candidates Should Possess:
- Masters Degree in Psychology
- Pennsylvania certification in school psychology
- Pennsylvania licensing desirable
