Summary/Abstract: The whole process of an educational institution is to be supervised by an educational psychologist who should adopt an external perspective towards the school as an institution. The essence of this perspective is the analysis of the actual functions of educational activities and their psychological effects, and not the implementation of the declared educational goals of the school. The proposed model of performing the role of a trained psychologist covers four categories of activities: monitoring, psychoprophylaxis, intervention and promotion. It should monitor the course of the educational process as well as promote personal development by shaping competences conducive to increasing the quality of life of a person in the individual dimension and relationship with others. This chapter describes the competences needed to perform tasks in each impact category.
