School Counseling for the Classroom Teacher (Summer Session, 1984)
(July
3 -
August 10; Mondays, Wednesdays,
5:30 - 9:20 p.m.)
Instructor: K. Yamamoto, Ph.D.
Eligibility and Objectives
Senior students and practicing teachers who wishes to explore
the art of offering and receiving help in the classroom context
as a means for further development of their pupils and of themselves.
While some familiarity with the specific counseling concepts
and skills will be developed, the inquiry centers around the question
of personhood and its development. ?
Therefore, the discussion will
encompass a consideration of the nature of helping, its potentials
and pitfalls, and the process of teaching itself will be closely
examined..as it relates to the process of counseling.
At the close of the session, it is hoped that each participant
in this class will walk away with a better understanding and appre-
citation of herself or himself as a person, teacher, and helper.
