ECC 602 Counselling Practicum
This is the second of two field experience courses prior to the internship. Candidates are supervised by their school-based mentor and university faculty in this pre-internship clinical experience. The focus is on the development of basic individual, age appropriate counselling skills and integration of professional knowledge. Candidates observe, gain understanding for, and practice listening skills, interviewing, conflict resolution, and de-escalation techniques in preparation for leadership and counselling roles and their internships. Audio or videotaping of laboratory practice is required.
