EGC 607 Internship II

In this course, learners continue in internship where they use counselling skills with students in the school and undertake other aspects of the role of school counsellor identified as benchmarks. Learners develop more advanced practice skill with microskills and assess their efficacy in the counselling session. Students apply a case conceptualization framework to a case and explore the intended purpose of an approach. Learners further deepen their goal setting and reflection skills. The intern and mentor may complete a formative evaluation to assess the intern’s progress in applying the fundamental skills, knowledge and ethics required in the role and to identify new learning goals and tasks.
