School psychologists are an important part of the educational team in any school district. Psychologists perform many varied and necessary duties to promote educationally and psychologically healthy environments for all children and youth. School psychologists consult with educators to devise instructional and classroom management strategies for helping children succeed in school. They provide psycho-educational evaluations of children that may include assessing ability, achievement, learning styles, and social and emotional status. School psychologists also consult with parents, teachers and administrators to assist with designing individualized education programs for students with disabilities.

Working with MCESC has been truly humbling. From the moment I was offered a position, every staff member has been beyond what I would refer to as an exceptional team player. My colleagues and supervisor always show their understanding and support regardless of my needs. Having initially served as a school psychologist in an extremely large district, it is refreshing to have the privilege to work with reliable, positive colleagues whose whole focus is on serving others.

My position here at the MCESC has been a blessing. I have been given the opportunity to work full- time while pursuing my school psychologist licensure and Ed.S. The MCESC provides tuition reimbursement making school financially accessible. Serving others is a tenant of this organization that I am so proud to be part of. I love working as a mentor to the children I serve, and it is the most rewarding part of my work week. Working at the MCESC allows me to pursue my love of helping students reach their true potential.
