Educational Psychologist

An Educational Psychologist focuses on enhancing the learning experiences and outcomes of students by applying psychological principles within educational settings. Their duties often involve conducting assessments to identify learning difficulties, developing intervention strategies tailored to individual needs, and collaborating with teachers and parents to support students' emotional and academic development.

Educational Psychologists may also provide training for educators, engage in research to improve educational practices, and advocate for policies that foster inclusive learning environments.
