PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES CREDENTIAL
This credential authorizes any of the following four specializations: school counseling, school social work, school psychology, and school child welfare and attendance services. The authorization and requirements for each specialization are listed below.
SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY
The Specialization in School Psychology authorizes the holder to perform the following duties:
- Provide services that enhance academic performance
- Design strategies and programs to address problems of adjustment
- Consult with other educators and parents on issues of social development and behavioral and academic difficulties
- Conduct psycho-educational assessment for purposes of identifying special needs
- Provide psychological counseling for individuals, groups, and families
- Coordinate intervention strategies for management of individuals and schoolwide crises
Requirements for the Specialization in School Psychology
Applicants must satisfy all the following requirements:
- Complete two years of postbaccalaureate degree study in a California Commission-accredited professional preparation program specializing in school psychology, including a practicum*
- Obtain the recommendation of a California college or university with a Commission-accredited Pupil Personnel Services program specializing in school psychology
- Pass the CBEST** (Out-of-state applicants who have not passed the CBEST may wish to contact their California employer about the possibility of getting a One-Year Nonrenewable [OYNR] Credential pending the passage of CBEST. See form CL-667 for more details.)
Applicants prepared outside of California may satisfy requirements 1 and 2 by verifying the completion of a postbaccalaureate degree program of at least 60 semester hours of course work in school psychology (30 semester hours may be in school counseling), including the practicum*. The applicant must also verify eligibility for the equivalent credential authorization in the state where the program was completed. If the out-of-state preparation does not fit this pattern, the applicant must contact a California college or university with a Commission-accredited school psychology program for an evaluation.
