This course surveys a variety of theories of counselling and provides an opportunity
for parti-cipants to develop some counselling skills that can be applied within any
elementary or secondary school environment. A major focus will be upon basic
attending skills and the counselling process. The course will therefore attempt
to be relevant both to student teachers and to teachers currently working within
the system.
Through lectures, guest speakers, group discussions, films and supervised practice
sessions, the following themes will be examined:
(1)
Roles and Responsibilities of School Counsellors.
(2)
Basic Attending Skills.
(3)
Approaches to Counselling.
(Li)
Affective Development.
(5)
Counselling Applications.
(6) Use of Referral Services.
(7)
Administrative, Legal and Ethical Issues in School Counselling.
(8)
Counselling as a Way of Life.
