William James College, located in Newton, MA, just west of Boston, is seeking an Adjunct faculty member to teach Program Development and Evaluation in the Clinical Psychology Program for Spring 2024. The course is in-person and meets on Fridays 1:00 – 2:50 PM. This course will run from January 8-May 6, 2024.
Course Description
Clinical psychologists need to be able to design and develop, manage, and evaluate clinical and other psychologically informed programs for organizations. This course will introduce students to an approach to these topics, using a practice model, to prepare them to be critical consumers and to be able to include these tasks in their professional duties. The class will apply the concept of responsive methodology, matching professional contributions to specific goals given the relevant stakeholders, program development stage, and the relevant step in the process of designing, achieving, and evaluating results. Students will be trained in a development, monitoring and evaluation (DM&E) model of thinking about programs and services and given hands-on practice in each step in DM&E, leading up to a final draft grant submission to help develop and evaluate a program.
The course is designed to provide graduate students in psychology with the basic tools needed to plan, monitor and evaluate local, regional, national, international programs, to become more informed consumers of the program evaluation literature in their fields as well as contracted or collaborative efforts with which they may become involved in the future. In addition, the course introduces the use of some more common forms of qualitative inquiry: focus groups, interviews, and surveys that may not be covered elsewhere in the curriculum.

Divorce cases are not heard by Juvenile Courts in Massachusetts. The Fellowship offers supervised training and experience in forensic assessment and consultation at the Juvenile Court Clinics under the direction of JCCO Program Director Pooja Khialani, PsyD and Co-Director of Training John Keogh, PsyD. Each Fellowship is full-time and carries a stipend of $55,000.

Completion of these classes leads to a Certificate in Child and Family Forensic issues (www.williamjames.edu/cffc). In addition, the Fellow will participate in various seminars and other learning activities offered through Boston Juvenile Court Clinic, MA Department of Mental Health, and William James College. The Fellow will have completed 2,100 training hours by the end of the Fellowship year.
