Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the varied models of training in the United States in the field of school psychology will be presented.

A specific training model employed at St. John's University, the practitioner-scholar-scientist, will be examined and a discussion of the particular aspects of this program as it relates to the expected practice of school psychologists will be offered.
