The most consistent thing that I loved at the Duval County School Board was working with the children! My job as a School Psychologist included a variety of tasks. I evaluated children for Special Education and for the Gifted program (and sometimes both at once). I provided counseling services and helped teachers. I participated in on multi-disciplinary Child Study Teams which included parents or guardians, teachers, guidance counselors, and various other school personnel (based on the individual child's needs). I wrote detailed reports about each evaluation I performed. The teachers and other educational personnel were often great to work with, but as in most jobs there were a few who I did not enjoy working with. The report writing was sometimes challenging but seldom was it a task I loved. On the other hand, almost all of the children were great! For several years I worked with preschoolers and that was my most favorite group. Part of my love for working with the preschoolers was because many of the tasks in the preschool evaluations were presented as play; nothing is more fun than playing with a 3 or 4 year old, especially when you can show them how to do something new! They often became excited and became engrossed in what they were doing.
