About the Employer

The Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE) leads with a student-centered vision, innovating in the classroom and building safe and supportive community schools. We collaborate and partner with local, county, and state agencies to address challenges students face. We are looking for individuals who can enact our vision: equipping the most vulnerable students and those who serve them with the tools to thrive. Join our team as we reimagine services to more holistically support students and erase the predetermination of failure for children, especially Alameda County’s most marginalized youth.

Job Summary

School Psychologists apply their knowledge of both psychology and education through consultation and collaboration with teachers, school administrators, parents, and community providers. They participate in effective data-based decision-making using a foundation of assessment and data collection. School psychologists engage in specific services for students, such as direct and indirect interventions that focus on academic skills, learning, socialization, and mental health. School psychologists provide services to schools and families that enhance the competence and well-being of children, including promotion of effective and safe learning environments, prevention and remediation of academic and behavior problems, response to crises, and improvement of family–school collaboration.

The School Psychologist for ACOE’s Division of Student Programs and Services supports multiple schools across Alameda County serving vulnerable populations, including court school students at juvenile facilities; community school students who are pregnant or parenting, expelled, or probation-referred; and charter school students who are reengaging in high school.
