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.
