As many students are preparing to apply this fall of 2017 for internships for the 2018-2019 academic year, we are delighted to announce a NEW doctoral school psychology internship opportunity in California, the Santa Barbara Psychology Internship Consortium (SB-PIC) (Match #245511).
The SB-PIC mission is to train doctoral school psychology interns dedicated to serving children and their families. Each of the schools and professionals participating in the SB-PIC are committed to preparing well-rounded school psychologists to facilitate the social, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive development and academic success of a diverse population of students.
All the important details about the opportunities in the SB-PIC are available on the website: sb-pic.org
A few highlights:
- There are 4 internship slots located in schools for 2018-2019 (see website for specific locations in Santa Barbara County)
- Each intern will receive a stipend of $30,000
- The consortium includes faculty and staff of Santa Barbara County Special Education Local Plan Area (SB-SELPA) and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)
- Each of the sites are located in Santa Barbara county, which is located on the central coast of California with a mild climate, ocean, mountain, forest, and agricultural access throughout the county: countyofsb.org
- The internship infrastructure builds upon a decade of collaborations between SB-SELPA, UCSB, and schools throughout Santa Barbara County.
- Didactic training will highlight contemporary research addressing: multi-tiered systems of support; assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse students, screening and supporting student mental health; early childhood screening, assessment, and intervention; assessing and supporting students with Autism; consultation to support teachers and students; behavioral assessment and intervention; crisis preparedness and response; and reading interventions.
- The SB-PIC has been developed to provide doctoral training consistent with the CDSPP, APA, NASP, and CA CTC guidelines for internships in school psychology. The SB-PIC has submitted materials for review to APPIC for membership. The program is not APA accredited or APPIC listed at this time.
