Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Advanced supervised clinical experience for students enrolled in the MEd or MA Counselling Psychology Program. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.

COURSE DETAILS:

By working with clients in a community or school site, students in this practicum course will concentrate on developing sound and consistent case management that includes implementing theoretically based counselling strategies and assessment skills.  

The SFU seminar portion of the course provides students with opportunities to:
(1) Develop and practice counselling strategies through instruction, discussions, role play, and demonstration by instructor;
(2) Receive supervision and feedback from instructor and peers through client case presentations and/or videotaped demonstrations with clients;
(3) Become familiar with a team approach to case management;
(4) Develop fundamental supervisory skills that include such activities as offering appropriate feedback, skills practice in dyads or triads, and the use of visual recordings as a supervisory tool.
(5) Develop your professional counsellor identity by researching professional memberships, affiliations, licensure options, and other practice and research activities relevant to your career and professional goals.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
