An Experience of Psychoeducational Assessments in Saskatchewan First Nations Schools

Abstract

This report provides a detailed summary of my practicum completed with the File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council and the Yorkton Tribal Council. Under the direction of Iris Rowlett, Registered Psychologist, I carried out achievement, cognitive, and behavioral assessments in several First Nations schools in south-east Saskatchewan. My learning experiences included working with Learning Resource Teachers, classroom teachers, children, and adolescents in school settings. This experience provided me with applied, practical experience in conducting psychoeducational assessments with clients aged 5 to 18 years old.
