There are standards for training in field placement that all school
psychologists should complete their professional work in order to show their
skills and hell they will impact their future career. The one that hi have
exhibited skills from my prior professional work would be my diversity in
development and learning. Having a safe space for everyone no matter their
background including families and cultures and other contexts is very
important to me to help provide a safe environment for the children. while
completing my undergraduate classes I took extensive classes within the
diversity topic. My minor is also in sociology which talks about how society
sees certain things and how certain biases and backgrounds affects people
and how they are seen. This helped me develop empathy and trying to relate
to people in order to look up their point of view. This can also help comfort to
children and to develop a plan that fits them.
I have also learned diversity through my internship in which the school
is so big that there are kids of all backgrounds and cultures available. This
has been helpful to help me learn diversity in a real world setting and how
the school psychologist handles different kids have different backgrounds. I
have also seen firsthand how when children do not understand diversity then
they can be hateful towards another group. These are things that I’m not
necessarily taught in a classroom setting but more learned through the real
world.
When helping the children culture can be a very important part
because they may not follow through with something that goes against their
culture, for example taking modern day medicine when their religion does
not believe in it. This learning within diversity can also help with social justice
to help serve your community the best you are able to and what fits their
needs best based on their background. When you put something in terms of
what the child knows, then they can help them solve issues within different
contexts. This could make them overall better rounded. When learning about
providing a diverse knowledge within helping create advocacy for different
backgrounds such as ethnicity and disabilities. Helping with this would not
only help the child in need but the environment so the child feels
comfortable.
In today’s society, there are many problems that can be seen with a
lack of diversity. Shown with powerful movements such as Black Lives
Matter, that there is still inequality being exhibited in modern day times. I
believe that education can help these problems a lot. From my learning it is
clear that when people do not understand something, or afraid, then they are
mean and violent to that thing. We can help this by providing education to
children so that they understand what is going on and can learn from an
early age that you need to accept a diverse learning place. A diverse
learning place is also ideal so that children can learn all about different
cultures and practices.
Before entering college, I grew up in a small town that was not diverse at all. When
arriving at college that was a lot of culture shock that happened. This helped open my eyes that
there are a lot of people different from me and I did not know how to interact with them,
