The mission of
Lenoir
City Schools is to create a positive educational environment
of mutual respect where each student shall discover opportunities
to develop necessary skills and attitudes to perform at
a level of personal excellence in the twenty-first century.
The Lenoir City School System
was organized in 1907 and has been a separate school system
since the city was chartered. It consists of an elementary
school, a middle school, a high school and the administrative
office, all SACS accredited. Lenoir City Schools can be
found within the great valley of East Tennessee just fifteen
minutes west of Knoxville.
The citizens of Lenoir City
take great pride in their school system and have made a
commitment toward excellence. The elementary facility was
built in 1987 and has received the School Architectural
Award of Tennessee. The middle school was constructed in
1990 and won the Tennessee State School Board Association
(TSBA) School of the Year Award. The high school was renovated
and enlarged in 1999 and has developed into a state-of-the-art
facility.
Through a strong academic program,
progressive use of technology, commitment to the arts, expanded
career awareness, competitive athletic programs and active
participation in the Loudon County Education Foundation,
the Lenoir City Schools are committed to building Lenoir
City’s future one student at a time.
Programs and services provided
by Lenoir City Schools include: a continuum of special education
services to address individual needs, school psychologists,
guidance counselors, mental health coordinator, English
Language Learner (ELL) teachers and translators, adult education
programs, medical clinics staffed by licensed RN and LPN
personnel, and parent and community volunteer programs.
The Lenoir City Family Resource
Center is located next the elementary school. The Family
Resource Center is dedicated to the concept of non-threatening
assistance to families and children in learning about and
accessing services available to them. To that end it will
provide information, informal counseling, support of existing
programs and their expansions where appropriate and, if
needed, the actual development of specific programs. Parenting
classes and home visitation programs are offered throughout
the year.
The school psychology internship
at Lenoir City Schools provides a continuum of experiences
including assessment, consultation, observation, interviewing,
report writing, small group and individual counseling, crisis
intervention, and parenting classes. Experiences are available
across the ranges of child development from birth to three
programs through high school. Interns are encouraged to
develop independent as well as collaborative skills for
working in schools.
Supervision
is considered an important component of the overall internship
program. Each full-time intern receives two hours of individual
one-to-one supervision from doctoral level licensed psychologists
on a weekly basis. All interns in the Consortium will receive
two hours per week of group supervision from a licensed psychologist.
It is
possible for the intern to receive up to 3 hours a semester
of graduate internship credit through the University of
Tennessee. The Consortium conducts the two hours per week of group
supervision in such a manner that it meets the University’s
requirements for graduate credit. If an intern is interested
in receiving graduate credit for this time, she or he needs
to make an arrangement directly with the University. Requesting
graduate credit for the group supervision is not required
of the intern. This is simply an additional benefit to the
intern if it is of value for her or him.
Lenoir City Schools
does not anticipate any intership positions for the 2010-2011 internship year.
