Spanish term or phrase: psicologo escolar externo
Hola a todos
Frente a mi tengo una carta-propuesta de una compañia de servicios de psicologia dirigida a un colegio local.
el parrafo de la frase duda es el siguiente:
"Asistimos a los centros educativos como psicologo escolar externo en momentos de crisis tales como accidentes en el plantel escolar, duelo, problemas de faltas graves de alumnos, profesores o padres, conflictos entre padres y la institucion asi como en aspectos legales involucrando estudiantes y/o padres."
primera traduje como out-of-school psychologist, luego decidi cambiar a out-of-site, pero no estoy convencida...
Mi version ultima:
Out-of-site, we may be of assistance in times of crisis to help resolve a number of issues as may arise such as an accident within the school premises..."

Pasa que aqui out of site transmite la idea que esta ayuda se ofrece en otro luegar fuera del colegio, y es todo lo contrario, o al menos asi lo entiendo.

Muchas gracias por toda y cualquier ayuda al respecto.

Reference: Educational vs. school psychologist

Reference information:
Based on my personal experience, I would interpret "educational psychologist" as someone who is primarily involved with testing or research, while a school psychologist would be someone who is a clinician involved in school settings. Wikipedia seems to back me up on this:

"Although the terms "educational psychology" and "school psychology" are often used interchangeably, researchers and theorists are likely to be identified as educational psychologists, whereas practitioners in schools or school-related settings are identified as school psychologists. Educational psychology is concerned with how students learn and develop, often focusing on subgroups such as gifted children and those subject to specific disabilities."
