Educational psychologists work with children, young people, families and schools, using psychology to promote positive outcomes in relation to wellbeing, communication and learning
As an educational psychologist, you’ll work collaboratively with children and young people from birth to 25 years old, alongside families and schools, on a variety of issues. These can include supporting children with learning difficulties or communication needs, and helping schools to meet the needs of young people who are finding it difficult to manage their emotions.
Educational psychologists work at various different levels:
* on an individual level – assessing a child’s needs and working with schools to implement provision that meets the identified needs
* at a group level – supporting a set of children with similar needs
* supporting the systems around the child – for example, supporting a school to develop their inclusion policy.
You’ll use a variety of techniques when working directly with children and young people to assess their needs. These include observations, assessments of learning and different methods to elicit the voice of the child or young person. Consultation and collaboration with parents, teachers, social workers, doctors and other people involved in the child’s education are also important ways in which you can gather information.
From here, you will support schools and parents to develop a range of appropriate interventions and strategies. These can include learning programmes, strategies to support emotional regulation and collaborative work with teachers or parents.
You may also provide in-service training for teachers, teaching assistants and other professionals on issues such as staff wellbeing or a relational understanding of behaviour. A further aspect to the job is research and advising on educational provisions and policies.
