"A deeper understanding about the culturally-based differences in family involvement beliefs and practices is unfolding. As a trainer and researcher, I am committed to developing culturally-responsive interventions for promoting family involvement as
well as preparing school psychologists for the salient professional responsibility of facilitating partnerships among families, schools

and communities."

The Ed.S. program in School Psychology at Lehigh University is fully approved by the National Association of School Psychologists.

The primary objective of the Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) program in School Psychology is to train individuals who wish to become school-based practitioners. Although students are expected to become effective consumers of research, it is not required that these students acquire skills to conduct significant research investigations.

Individuals completing the program attain competencies making them eligible for careers in public or private school settings.

The Ed.S. program results in both the degree and certification as a school psychologist in Pennsylvania, as well as eligibility for the NCSP credential awarded by NASP.

Most Ed.S. students develop a specialized expertise:
