CN 768 - Internship II: School Counseling

Semester Hours: 3

The School Counseling Internship II is a one-semester, 300-hour minimum, supervised counseling experience within the context of an approved school placement. The course is designed to help interns master all aspects of the role and functioning of a professional school counselor. Interns will integrate and apply the knowledge, skills, and dispositions learned in previous program coursework to implement comprehensive, developmental, and collaborative school counseling programs. Interns will serve in individual and group counseling sessions with a minimum of 225 hours of direct service with students involving assessment, intervention, and evaluation. Audio or audio-visual recordings are used to develop skills in conceptualizing cases and selecting and implementing appropriate interventions. The application of ethical and legal issues in counseling is reviewed. The course culminates in the graduate student’s portfolio presentation and an evaluation of his/her counseling performance throughout the internship.
