Please briefly describe what experiences an intern in your district wouldreceive: Humboldt Unified School District has been providing internship training for approximately 20 years and has a well-established internship training program.

An Intern will receive direct as well as indirect supervision and have the opportunity to work with several school psychologists. The district has recently adopted the NASP practice model, so as the intern works both alongside a psychologist and independently, he or she will have an opportunity to complete initial evaluations, reevaluations, FBAs, and multidisciplinary assessments as well as participate in Response to Intervention teams, provide consultation and professional development, participate in interventions, groups, and experience involvement in specialized programs. Interns will also attend monthly psychologist meetings for professional development and collaboration.

Interns will also participate in all other task a certified psychologist does, including consultation/collaboration, completing FBAs, developing and implementing BIPs, provide professional development for staff, and participate in pre-referral interventions. Interns will spend one day a week at other campuses, with quarterly rotations at a high school, middle school, specialized program, and preschool.
