How Counselor Educators and Supervisors Can Prepare Masters Level Counselors in Training for Learning in Practicum and Internship (WNBC1032)

Join Dr. Heather Ambrose to earn (1) NBCC contact hour:

Practicum and Internship are a seminal part of the educational process for masters level counselors-in-training. (Few students enter their field experience with the knowledge of what they can expect from practicum and internship. It is expected that counselors-in-training assume the responsibility for the learning that occurs during their training. However most students are not aware of this expectation. Therefore, counselor educators need to provide context and expectations for students entering their field experience, including role induction, which prepares counselors-in-training for the learning experience ahead of them. This presentation examines the process of role induction for masters level counselors-in-training and how counselor educators can assist practicum and internship students in negotiating the developmental stages associated with field placement to promote the development of their professional counselor identity and to best serve the clients with whom they work. This course has text and interactive activities.

By the end of this webinar Attendees will:

Recognize the developmental stages of practicum and internship.
Formulate a plan to assist counselors-in-training with role induction.
Develop strategies to use at the beginning of supervision.
