What is the TCS Model of Education?


Previous Training Models For Clinical Psychology

• 1949 Boulder Training Model: Scientist Practitioner– Rooted in a classic academic research style.– First become a research scientist, usually with a specialty (psychology,

counseling, clinical, etc) and then into the field, typically through on-the-job training.

– Sixty years later, the Boulder approach is still recognized

• 1973 Vail Training Model: The Practitioner-Scholar Model– Scientific research gives way to practice as the model’s nucleus.– The creation of the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional

Psychology (NCSPP) would follow.

– By the end of the decade, professional graduate schools committed to granting the practitioner-based Psy.D. degree were becoming more common


“The Chicago School Education System PreparesInnovative, Engaged, Purposeful Agents of Change

Who Serve Our Global Community”

Mission Statement for The Chicago School Education System


TCS Model of Education

• Four Values– Education– Innovation– Community– Service

• Four Learning Goals– Professional Practice– Scholarship– Diversity– Professional Behavior


From Boulder to Vail to Chicago

• TCSPP moves away from Vail model and brands its own “Model of Education”

• The institutional values and learning goals are institutional and system wide.

• The Chicago School Model of Education is not limited to graduate psychology
