ECC 601 Counselling Field Experience
The field experience is a mentored, integrated, sequential experience planned by the student, the university field supervisor, and a mentoring school counsellor with training in observation and counselling skills. Candidates observe on-site counsellors at elementary and secondary levels to become familiar with the counsellor role and the emphases at different levels. As part of their observation work, candidates will conduct a case study on an individual child or adolescent within a school setting. Typical experiences with staff, students, and others will be observed and assessed. Audio or videotaping of laboratory practice is required.
