- C.
Military
- D.

A school psychologist typically works in educational settings, such as schools, to provide support and services to students. Private practice and hospitals are also possible settings where a school psychologist may work, as they may offer counseling and mental health services to children and adolescents.

School psychologists' primary responsibility used to be _____________, for which they got the informal title of "gatekeeper".
- A.
Assessment
- B.
Intervention
- C.
Consultation
- D.
Research
Correct Answer
A. AssessmentExplanation
School psychologists' primary responsibility used to be assessment. This involved evaluating students' cognitive, academic, and social-emotional functioning to identify any potential learning or behavioral difficulties. By conducting assessments, school psychologists could gather comprehensive information about students' strengths and weaknesses, which helped inform intervention strategies and support services. The informal title of "gatekeeper" was given to school psychologists because they played a crucial role in determining students' eligibility for special education services and other interventions based on their assessment results.Rate this question:

B. InterventionExplanation
The question is asking about the shift in responsibilities in the school psychology field. The correct answer is "Intervention" because it implies that the focus is now more on providing services and support to students rather than just assessing and diagnosing their issues.

Why are some psychologists opposed to the title of "school psychologist"?
- A.
Now that school psychology is moving away from assessment, they're more like counselors than psychologists
- B.
School psychologists work in a variety of settings, not just schools, so "school psychologist" is misleading
- C.
School psychologists don't go through a 5-year program involving psychologist licensing, so they're not really psychologists
- D.
There are several tracks to becoming a school psychologist, therefore it should have more than one name
Correct Answer
C. School psychologists don't go through a 5-year program involving psychologist licensing, so they're not really psychologistsExplanation
Some psychologists are opposed to the title of "school psychologist" because they believe that school psychologists do not go through the same rigorous training and licensing requirements as other psychologists. They argue that without completing a 5-year program involving psychologist licensing, school psychologists should not be considered true psychologists. This opposition stems from the belief that the title may be misleading and could potentially undermine the credibility and professional standards associated with the field of psychology.Rate this question:

NASP promotes all school psychologists to function on Level 3, however, this is not a realistic goal-- why not?
- A.
If all school psychologists functioned as Level 3s, no one would be left to do the assessment and diagnoses
- B.
Many of the skills required to function on Level 3 require continued education and schools rarely give school psychologists time off for that
- C.
School psychologists should not be required to be able to examine or evaluate research like licensed psychologists are able
- D.
Master's level school psychology programs can't fit all of the required skills into such a brief time
Correct Answer
D. Master's level school psychology programs can't fit all of the required skills into such a brief timeExplanation
Master's level school psychology programs have a limited duration, typically two to three years. It is not feasible to cover all the necessary skills and knowledge required to function at Level 3 within such a short timeframe. Level 3 requires advanced skills in assessment, diagnosis, and research evaluation, which require additional education and training beyond what can be provided in a master's program. Therefore, expecting all school psychologists to function at Level 3 is unrealistic due to the time constraints of their education and training.Rate this question:

- D.
Secondary: crisis intervention and counselling
Correct Answer

The given answer is correct because in the context of the question, the responsibility of training teachers to work with special education students is not relatively more dominant in the elementary level compared to the other settings. This responsibility is more commonly associated with the secondary level, where specialized knowledge and skills are required to support students with special needs. In the elementary level, the focus is usually on providing a general education foundation for all students, with less emphasis on specific training for special education.Rate this question:

- B.
Different ratios of students/teachers
- C.
Differing amounts of travel involved in the job
- D.

Correct Answer
C. Differing amounts of travel involved in the jobExplanation
This question is asking which option does not represent an instance of SES impacting a school psychologist's role. SES stands for Socioeconomic Status. Option A, different levels of parental availability, can be impacted by SES as parents from lower SES backgrounds may have less availability due to work or financial constraints. Option B, different ratios of students/teachers, can also be impacted by SES as schools in lower SES areas may have higher student-to-teacher ratios due to limited resources. Option C, differing amounts of travel involved in the job, can also be impacted by SES as school psychologists in lower SES areas may have to travel longer distances to reach schools. Option D, differing levels of student advocacy, is not directly related to SES.Rate this question:

NASP advocates a student to psychologist ratio of:
- A.
1/2000
- B.
1/1000
- C.
1/100
- D.
1/1900
Correct Answer
B. 1/1000Explanation
NASP advocates a student to psychologist ratio of 1/1000. This means that for every 1000 students, there should be one psychologist available to provide support and services. This ratio is important to ensure that students receive adequate mental health support and resources. With a lower ratio, psychologists can effectively address the individual needs of students and provide timely interventions. This ratio also allows for collaboration and consultation between psychologists and other school staff to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment.Rate this question:

Which of the following is a factor affecting the future of school psychology?
- A.
Universal enrollment
- B.
Family and community involvement
- C.

- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the options listed - universal enrollment, family and community involvement, and higher expectations for teachers via merit pay - are factors that can significantly impact the future of school psychology. Universal enrollment ensures that all students have access to education, which in turn affects the demand for school psychologists. Family and community involvement play a crucial role in supporting students' mental health and academic success, making it essential for school psychologists to collaborate with families and communities. Higher expectations for teachers, such as merit pay, can lead to increased demand for support services like school psychology to help teachers meet these expectations effectively.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Serves students in regular and special education classrooms, both students with and without disabilitiesExplanation
The correct answer is "Serves students in regular and special education classrooms, both students with and without disabilities". This statement is not true of IDEA. IDEA, or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, is a federal law in the United States that ensures students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education. It serves children from ages 3-21, is renamed from a prior bill that used the word 'handicapped' instead of 'disability', and offers transition services. However, it does not specifically serve students in regular and special education classrooms, both students with and without disabilities.Rate this question:
