Institutional Educational Psychologist

You are the person who helps entire schools and school systems support students better. While a school psychologist often focuses on individual students, as an institutional educational psychologist you work more at the systems level, designing programs, training teachers, and shaping policies that make learning environments more effective and inclusive. Day to day, you might build intervention programs for struggling learners, coach educators on strategies that work, advise administrators on inclusive practices, and use data to see what is helping and what is not. You spend your time in schools, districts, and meetings where big decisions about education get made.
