Today, we are thinking aloud with my friend, Dr. Sarah Conoyer. Sarah is an Assistant Professor in School Psychology at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE). Sarah is a nationally certified School Psychologist as well as a licensed Clinical Psychologist. One of the things Sarah and I share is our work in what we call the “messy middle” - working in overlapping and interconnected fields. In Sarah’s case, that’s School Psychology and Special Education, with the opportunity to both train future School Psychologists in a university setting and work with teams in public schools.
This episode is great for undergraduate students to hear about the myriad opportunities available while you are working toward your degree. It's also great for professionals in public schools to hear about ways to connect and collaborate with university faculty.
Here are some resources Sarah shared:
