Course focuses on assisting counselor trainees to improve individual and group counseling skills.
Designed as the capstone of clinical training, these are performance-based courses in which students must demonstrate their competence in diagnosis and treatment planning in an approved clinical setting (clinic, private practice, hospital, etc.). Emphasis is on the application of academic training and skills with clients. Evaluation of demonstrated skills is made through close supervision by an on-site supervisor and the instructor.
Internship in School Counseling serves as the culminating experience for the school counselor-in-training. The basic purpose of the internship is to provide each intern with a field experience and the opportunity to integrate the application of counseling theories and skills to counseling practice with individuals, groups, families, children, and/or adolescents in a school setting. Evaluation of skills is made through close supervision by the supervising school counselor and the instructor.
Being a supervisor is your opportunity to shape a new generation of counseling professionals who are focused on the practice of healing and the science of understanding.
The benefits of precepting include:
- Helping counseling students achieve professional growth. You can share your valuable knowledge and expertise as you guide students through real-life learning opportunities.
- Reinforcing and strengthening your knowledge. Students learn current counseling best practices, so knowledge-sharing is often a two-way street.
Enjoying the satisfaction of “paying it forward.” Giving back to the profession in which you received supervision when you were a student can be very satisfying.
