Hi
, I am your building school psychologist, Karen Gordon. School psychologists
help children succeed in school by collaborating with educators, parents
and other professionals to create a supportive learning environment
and strengthen connections between home and school. School psychologists
are trained in both psychology and education with knowledge in mental
health, child development, school organization, learning styles and
processes, behavior, motivation and effective teaching .
Primary responsibilities of the school psychologist include consulting
with teachers, parents and administrators to find effective solutions
to learning and behavior problems and accessing cognitive, adaptive
and social-emotional development in children. School psychologists
also work directly with children and their families to help resolve
problems in adjustment and learning.
