ABSTRACT

It is beneficial for school psychology interns and internship supervisors to co-construct a plan for the internship year. This chapter provides an overview of best practices in developing an internship plan and setting goals for the internship year. The internship plan is described as a roadmap for the development of competencies from the beginning to end of the year, a formative and summative evaluation tool, and a catalyst for discussions between the intern, the site supervisor, and the university supervisor. The plan is treated as organic rather than static, and dynamic and goal-oriented rather than as a laundry list of activities to be completed.
