National Association of School Psychologists - Pennsylvania

From: https://www.nasponline.org/standards-and-certification/state-school-psychology-credentialing-requirements/states/pennsylvania

SEA Credential:
Eligible applicants receive an Educational Specialist Level I School Psychologist
credential which is valid for 6 years of service. After three years of satisfactory performance in Pennsylvania and completion of a PDE approved Induction program, practitioners must apply for an Educational Specialist Level II School Psychologist credential within 6 years. The Level II certificate will be valid for 99 years. Both the Level I and II credentials are recognized for K-12 settings.

An emergency credential can be authorized for up to one year. The request for an emergency credential is initiated by an LEA superintendent when no credentialed, appropriate applicants are available. Pennsylvania does not automatically accept any other state's credential. Each application is reviewed individually for coursework completed and previous state's requirements. A school psychologist training program within Pennsylvania includes a master's degree, an additional thirty credit School Psychology program leading to certification, a Praxis (5402) score of 147, and a one year internship. Additionally, PDE requires that applicants be United States citizens or sign a Declaration of Intent to Become a Citizen of the United States.

Continuing Education Requirements:
All holders of Department of Education credentials are required to complete 180 hours of continuing education credits within a five year period after receiving the credential and within every five year period following. This requirement, titled Act 48, has been in place since 1999. There is no requirement regarding content of the continuing education but it must be offered by a recognized Act 48 provider.

Scope of Practice:
School psychologists with the SEA credential can provide services in public schools (K-12), early childhood and pre-K settings, and private and charter schools. The SEA credential also allows one to provide contract services in schools. Pennsylvania currently permits school psychologists certified through the Pennsylvania Department of Education to engage in private practice outside of the school environment due to an exception in the Pennsylvania state psychological licensure law. This only applies to those school psychologists currently in practice in the Commonwealth who are in good standing and those enrolled in school psychology training programs before June 30, 2018. Additionally, school psychologists must be employed as school psychologists in a public school in order to provide private practice services.  This licensure exemption will be eliminated for those entering the field after June 30, 2018.

Baby Mamma Number Three...

Umar Johnson has no right to tell anyone anything about families, children, or education as far as I'm concerned. Why? Because, y'all, Umar has just been "tagged" with Baby Mamma Number Three. I will not do the woman involved the disservice of putting her name out on this blog, but just pay attention to the video  below. This man, who is clearly irresponsible , who is telling you that he needs your donations to create a school for Black boys, although he can't explain where the money is , who tells you he isn't going to show you his plan because y'all too stupid to understand, unless you have a $10,000 check , then he can let you in on the plan, with his tax liens and a pretend relationship to Frederick Douglass, AND who has six degrees , none of which he has shown, who lies about celibacy , who has THREE, count 'em, THREE baby mammas , yet he is unapologetically African , who doesn't respect any man who is not committed to a Black wo

A Fraction of A Man

Damnitall to hell!  I was just here, minding my own business, progressing and enjoying my life! BUT... I've sat back and watch more of Umar Johnson with his lies, schemes, scams, disrespect, danger, hypocrisy, usury, foolery, fuckery, and disregard of Black people and I'm beyond sickened of what I'm seeing in this goddamned fool who supposedly has six degrees. Oh my God!  Where do I start? Weakness At this block party, there were people, supposedly the New Black Panther Party, allegedly had assault weapons pointing down at the crowd from a roof of the trap bandos.  From what I understand of the laws of Delaware concerning open-carry weapons, having open-carry assault weapons is illegal.   Thank the heavens that nothing happened.  But, that situation, in and of itself is dangerous, especially with women, children and elders present.  Why have that at a "family" oriented block party?  What was Umar Johnson expecting?  Did he really think he had the rig

Take a bit of advice from Public Enemy, please. Don't believe the hype ! What hype am I talking about? The idea the Umar Johnson has actually acquired a building, in my view, is a bunch of hype. Umar Johnson claims the has bought a building, or a set of buildings located at 610 - 611 East 17th Street in Wilmington, DE. Okay So, let's look at the records. Exhibit One is the records of recent sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Exhibit One - Recent real estate sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Let's look at Exhibit Two below where we see that the last purchase of this property was in 2017.
