Dear Prospective Intern,
Thank you for your interest in a school psychology internship with San Diego Unified School District.
We have a careful selection procedure for potential interns, which includes the presentation of a portfolio of your work and a resume. Our district has determined that the minimum of 450 hours of practicum must be completed before the end of the current school year in order to apply for an internship position the following year in accordance with standards specified by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (www.ctc.ca.gov). Applicants from out-of-state must be enrolled in a NASP-approved program to be considered for an internship with San Diego Unified School District. If you have completed the necessary coursework and practicum hours, please submit your portfolio to the Related and Specialized Services office.
Your portfolio (application packet) should include the following materials:
· Resume / vitae
· Unofficial transcripts of graduate course work
· Copy of the university’s requirements and coursework for school psychology
· Copy of Certificate of Clearance
· Copy of current TB test
· Copy of most recent practicum evaluation from current supervisor
· One psycho-educational report with identifying information deleted
· One sample of an intervention plan or an accommodation plan
· Two letters of recommendation (at least one from a former supervisor)
Beginning February 27, 2015 you may submit the completed portfolio to the Related and Specialized Services office, where your portfolio will be reviewed (4350 Mt. Everest Blvd. Room B-7, San Diego, CA 92117). Portfolios must be received by the Related and Specialized Services Office no later than April 6th, 2015. Due to the large number of individuals interested in San Diego Unified School District, not all applicants will be asked for an interview or accepted for an internship position. Interviews may include a writing sample of a case analysis. We wish to identify talented interns who meet district needs and are potential candidates for district employment as school psychologists. We anticipate that our paper screening of applications will be completed in April and interviews will be scheduled May 2015. Your interest is appreciated. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Hyyon Palmer
Senior School Psychologist
