Project CI2ELO (2010-2015)
Brings school psychology and speech-language students together for collaborative seminars, institutes, and field experiences in a multilingual elementary school in San Diego City Schools. Trainees develop the knowledge and skills to provide Collaborative Interventions to Improve English Learners’ Outcomes. CI2ELO uses a preservice learning community model to engage trainees in researching and intervening in the real-life challenges experienced by English Learners with, or at risk of, disabilities. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education ($1,200,000): V. Cook-Morales &V. Gutierrez-Clellen.
Transdisciplinary Approaches to Autism Spectrum Disorders (TAASD) (2010-2015)
Provides support for speech-language pathologists and school psychologists developing shared evidence-based expertise in serving diverse children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The TAASD experience includes institutes with experts, and collaboration seminars using a responsibility model for learning. The two year field experience is graded in scope and intensity; beginning with site visit observations in schools and agencies serving students with ASD, to shadowing ASD specialists in City Schools, to a year-long collaborative field experience providing direct services to students with ASD. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs ($1,200,000): V. Gutierrez-Clellen & V. Cook-Morales.
LEAD Project (2010-2015)
The SDSU MFT program was awarded a substantial grant from the San Diego County of Health & Human Services. The grant titled The Linguistically And Ethnically Diverse (LEAD) Project is designed to lead to a dramatic increase in the numbers of linguistically and ethnically diverse interns that gain MFT licensure. The grant pays a one year stipend to selected SDSU MFT Interns enabling them to obtain the hours required for licensure within a timely manner. In addition, the internship will engage trainees and interns in collaborations with mental health county agencies, provide preparation classes for success with licensure examination, the opportunity to complete a Certificate in Public Mental Health Practices, and educational programs on evidence-based models and promising practices to strengthen clinical knowledge and skill level. The project is designed to significantly increase the numbers of SDSU MFT interns entering into the County workforce over the next five years. Gerald Monk, Project Director.
Native American Student Success Collaboration Project (NASSCP) (2008-2012)
Partners project scholars with Valley Center Pauma High School, and with the surrounding rural reservation communities to work with underserved youth for school success. School psychology and school counseling students study the work of indigenous educators in weekly seminars, work with youth and mentors on the project school site each week, participate in mentored professional presentations to state or national conferences, attend summer and winter institutes, and benefit from multiple mentors. They focus on targeting school-wide preventive work, separating difference from disability, and working from strength-based models to create and deliver culturally compatible intervention services. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs ($800,000): C. Robinson-Zañartu.
San Diego Bilingual School Psychology Consortium (2007-2012)
Provides specialized training for preservice bilingual (Spanish) school psychology trainees through an on-going seminar during the academic year and a month-long immersion in Mexico in the summer. The seminars, taught bilingually, focus on bilingual content and issues in the fall and on Latino culture and issues in the spring. The summer immersion includes (a) exposure to the interface of indigenous and colonial cultures in Mexico, (b) fieldwork in the schools, and (c) intensive professional Spanish instruction. An extension of the California framework for preparation of bilingual teachers guides the project. The project also provides support to bilingual supervisors in their supervisory responsibilities as well as in their efforts to document their NCSP and BCLAD qualifications. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of English Language Acquisition ($1,500,000): V. Cook-Morales.
