School Psychologist Clinical Placement in CREC Schools

Overview

The Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) recognizes teachers, school social workers, school psychologists, and other human service professionals in training who need rich educational experiences to fully develop their skills. Therefore, to assist these individuals, CREC encourages its magnet schools and student services programs to utilize trainees in these fields when it is appropriate and safe.

CREC’s magnet schools and special programs provide student teacher placement assignments that meet NCATE, state, and other appropriate Connecticut college, university, and program accreditation requirements.

CREC actively supports and encourages the student teacher placement program as a means to acquire knowledge, skills, and competencies that teachers need to ensure that students learn and perform at high levels.

Submit all requests for School Psychologist Clinical Internships in CREC magnet schools and programs to the Office of Teaching and Learning within the Division of Magnet Schools, by completing the CREC School Psychologist Therapist Clinical Internship Application within Applicant Tracking. The Director of Pupil Services will then be contacted for initial placement approval. Once an application is reviewed and a potential placement is identified, the college or university will be notified.

All placements are considered pending until a pre-placement interview takes place.
