Section by section

What each part of this resume is doing.

Summary

The summary names the buildings covered and the assessment load, because a School Psychologist is usually split across schools and districts hire against that reality.

Experience

Each entry gives the evaluation volume and what came of it. A School Psychologist who lists instruments without outcomes reads as a tester rather than a practitioner.

Skills

Skills name the instruments by title, since a School Psychologist is expected to administer them unsupervised from the first week.

credentials

The credential is listed with its issuing body, because a School Psychologist may hold a state certification, a national one, or both, and districts differ on which they accept.

Before you apply

What K-12 hiring committees look for

A district hiring a School Psychologist is looking at evaluation throughput and whether you can hold a difficult eligibility meeting. Consultation work with teachers counts for more than the length of your instrument list.

There are 128 open School Psychologist roles, concentrated in Illinois.
