EDCE 686 - Counselling Practicum

Institution:

Gonzaga University

Subject:

COUNSELOR EDUCATION

Description:

This course is designed to serve as the transition between the Pre-practicum phase of the counselor's professional development and preparation for entry level practice by providing for the continued development of counseling skills on site and under direct supervision. Students continue to gain working knowledge of record keeping, resources, and office protocol. They will regularly observe and receive feedback from the field supervisor and begin to carry a full caseload of clients representing the diversity of the community. Students must complete supervised Practicum experiences that total a minimum of 350 clock hours (100 hour prepracticum plus 250 hour practicum). The Practicum includes all of the following: a minimum of 250 hours of direct service with clients, including experience in individual counseling and group work, weekly interaction with an average of one hour per week of individual and/or triadic supervision with an onsite supervisor. Forty hours of class time in the Spring semester consists of group supervision and other further didactic experiences. Also, an evaluation of the student's performance throughout the practicum, including a formal evaluation at the conclusion of the practicum will be required.
