Make an Impact Where It Matters

SchoolHouse Staffing is recruiting a School Psychologist to support one of our Illinois school district partners for the 2026–2027 school year.

This opportunity is ideal for a School Psychologist who values collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and supporting the whole student.

In this role, you will work alongside educators, administrators, families, and other student-support professionals to identify student strengths and needs, conduct comprehensive evaluations, develop meaningful interventions, and help create learning environments where students can succeed academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally.

What You'll Do

Assessment & Evaluation

• Conduct formal and informal assessments of intellectual ability, academic achievement, emotional and behavioral functioning, and social development.
• Interpret assessment results and clearly communicate findings to families, educators, and multidisciplinary teams.
• Use multiple assessment methods to identify student strengths and areas of need.
• Develop recommendations and interventions supporting general and special education programming.
• Conduct assessments for students in out-of-district placements when needed.
• Complete required referral and evaluation documentation within applicable state timelines.

Data-Based Decision Making

• Collect and analyze student data to guide instructional, behavioral, and intervention planning.
• Monitor student progress and recommend adjustments based on outcomes.
• Support school teams in interpreting data for problem-solving and program evaluation.
• Help develop academic goals and interventions for students at risk of academic failure.

Consultation & Collaboration

• Collaborate with teachers, administrators, families, and other professionals to support student learning and well-being.
• Participate in multidisciplinary planning and decision-making at the student, classroom, and systems levels.
• Schedule and coordinate initial and reevaluation multidisciplinary team meetings.
• Collaborate with community organizations and outside providers when appropriate.

Social-Emotional & Behavioral Support

• Help educators develop effective classroom behavior-management strategies.
• Support parents and caregivers with strategies that can be implemented at home.
• Provide individual or group counseling support when appropriate.
• Help identify students experiencing academic, behavioral, social, or emotional concerns.
• Participate in screening and early-intervention efforts.

Crisis Prevention & Student Support

• Assist with individual and school-wide crisis situations as needed.
• Help identify students who may require additional behavioral, emotional, or mental-health support.
• Collaborate with school teams to develop appropriate interventions and support services.

Documentation & Professional Practice

• Maintain accurate, timely, and confidential student records.
• Complete Medicaid/Fee-for-Service documentation as required.
• Practice in accordance with professional and ethical standards for school psychology.
• Apply current research and professional literature to service delivery and program development.
• Participate in professional development and training.
• Supervise eligible school psychology interns or practicum students when appropriate.

Required Qualifications

Candidates must have:

• Master's Degree in School Psychology.
• Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) with School Psychology Endorsement.
• Knowledge of evidence-based academic and behavioral intervention strategies.
• Experience using assessment data to develop individualized instructional and behavioral recommendations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with educators, administrators, families, and community partners.
• Ability to analyze student data and contribute to data-driven decision-making.

Preferred Qualifications

We'd especially like to connect with School Psychologists who have:

• Experience supporting students performing below grade level.
• Experience working within diverse school communities.
• Spanish-English bilingual proficiency.

Who May Thrive in This Role

This opportunity may be a strong fit if you enjoy being more than an evaluator.

We're looking for a School Psychologist who wants to collaborate with educators and families, contribute meaningfully to intervention planning, use data to guide decisions, and support students across academic, behavioral, social, and emotional domains.
