The School District of Philadelphia is accepting applications for full-time, paid school psychologist internships for the 2019-2020 school year. Graduate students enrolled in a master's, specialist or doctoral program in school psychology are encouraged to apply. The internship is designed to meet Pennsylvania Department of Education standards and requires a minimum of 1200 hours.
We offer candidates diverse cultural and clinical experiences with thorough training and support, as well as professional development opportunities. Intern school psychologists work under the direct supervision of experienced practitioners to provide individual and group counseling and other therapeutic interventions for students; conduct student and classroom observations; conduct formal psychological and curriculum-based assessments and functional behavioral assessments for educational planning; write assessment reports; provide instructional and behavioral consultation; and attend staff meetings and clinical supervision sessions as scheduled throughout the year.
The following documents must be attached to your application in order to be considered for an internship position:
  • Current resume
  • Two Letters of Recommendation - One should be from your practicum or university supervisor and reflect your work during graduate training. The second letter should be from a person familiar with your work in education, psychology or a related field.
  • All undergraduate transcripts and a current graduate university transcript, which includes all courses completed in the school psychology program.
  • Writing sample - One psychological report prior to being edited by a supervisor
  • Internship requirements for/from your university program
  • A letter of interest
When applying, please select Central Office for your Applicant Type. Applications must be completed by December 21, 2018 . Interviews will be held in January.
All paid internship positions are dependent upon budget funding. Because paid school psychology internships are extremely competitive, candidates recommended for an internship will have one week to respond indicating whether or not they are accepting the internship. Final placement for internships is made by the Director of School Psychology Services and based on the results of the interview process and available supervisors.
