School Counseling Internship and Seminar

Catalog description

The School Counseling Internship provides a closely supervised field experience in involving the full range of duties involved with professional school counseling in Pre-K-12 schools. Students are expected to utilize every opportunity to become familiar with and participate in the services provided by the schools and related organizations with which they are associated.

In this course, you are expected to engage in various counselor roles at your site, including (a) program development and evaluation: program assessment, planning, design, implementation, and evaluation; (b) counseling: individual, group, group guidance; (c) program administration and leadership; (c) collaboration, coordination, and consultation: work with parents, teachers, administrators, community members, and other appropriate stakeholders; and (d) assessment, career development, program coordination, and other important and appropriate roles.
