School Counselors Working with Diverse Learners

Catalog description

This course provides future school counselors with an overview of the unique needs of the diverse learner, who, because of factors which may become barriers, such as limited English language proficiency or disabilities, may have academic needs that require not only varied instructional strategies to help them learn but also counselor support and advocacy. The role of the school counselor as direct service provider as well as leader, advocate and agent of systemic change, will be highlighted. This course will include a guided application component.
