The Argument for Clinical Supervision for Early Career School Counselors
Get PDFEarly career school counselors need support to navigate their professional development as novice counselors, manage programmatic duties, high caseloads, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health needs of children and youth. Given that school settings are often the first point of entry for mental health services for children and youth, clinical supervision is necessary. Clinical supervision promotes ethical practice, supports the professional growth of early career school counselors, and guards against burnout. This article (a) describes the development needs of early career school counselors and (b) provides recommendations for establishing clinical supervision for early career school counselors as a best practice
Forging Identity: Learning about Craft Production and Identity through the Analysis of Hand-made Nails
Get PDFNails may not seem exciting. After all, their function is self-evident: nails hold things together. On closer examination, however, nails are quite useful. They can help to determine a site’s chronology, reveal variability in commodity consumption, and reflect the economic activities that occurred in an historic village. Here, I present the analysis of nails from Stoddartsville, a 19th century milling village in northeast Pennsylvania. Different blacksmiths introduce subtle variability into the finished form of a nail, yielding differences in attributes such as nail head length, nail head thickness, and number of head facets. I used these attributes to determine the number of blacksmiths that made the nails used at Stoddartsville and to examine how the blacksmith(s) responded to the changes that occurred in eastern Pennsylvania as industrialization unfolded. My analysis draws attention to specific individuals who, though often absent in historic texts, played fundamental roles in building an industrial America
The Application of Relational Cultural Theory in Digitally Delivered CE Programs
Get PDFRelational Cultural theory (RCT) as a pedagogy in counselor education and supervision (CES) uniquely positions educators and learners for growth through vulnerability and authenticity. The authors in this article share their individual journeys with RCT along with practical strategies for implementing RCT as a pedagogy in an asynchronous digitally delivered counselor education program. Ethical implications are addressed
Is Warmer Better? Examining Counseling Student Responses to Syllabus Tone
Get PDFResearchers in this quantitative study explored the impact of syllabus tone on master-level counseling students (N = 124). Findings indicate statistically significant differences between students’ reactions to syllabi language, with greater student retention of the content within the warm syllabus condition and more favorable perceptions of the instructor and their grading practices. Implications for counselor educators are included
Group Counseling Preparation Amidst Crisis and Disaster: An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis
Get PDFThere is consensus that group counseling and the use of telehealth platforms (i.e., phone or video conferencing usage) are highly effective interventions during and in response to crises and disaster situations. Wishing our Counselor Education and Supervision (CES), program had access to this information prior to the COVID-19 pandemic; we use this study to reflect on what we learned from that time. Building from the experiences of eight masters-level students enrolled in a group counseling internship at the height of the pandemic, this manuscript connects our programmatic oversights to the sparsity of information related to group counseling and the use of telehealth for group counseling in crisis and disaster situations. While we hope to our study expands on this literature base, we simultaneously highlight Bemak and Chung’s (2011) Disaster Cross-Cultural Counseling Model and Adassary & Goodrich\u27s (2014) Care Model as ways to support group counseling and group counselor training during crises and disasters
Not Just Playing with Toys: Enculturation and Identity in a Historic Village in Northeast Pennsylvania
Get PDFThe archaeology of early industrial communities can yield material evidence of the pervasive, interrelated impacts of industrialization on work and domestic life. Archaeologists and historians investigating industrial communities have increasingly pivoted from a focus on great men and firsts in technological development to the local sociocultural contexts and consequences of industrialization. Here, I use the study of toys from Stoddartsville, a milling village in northeast Pennsylvania, to examine the lived experiences of children during the mid-nineteenth century. I suggest that children learned powerful lessons about identity, especially gender, as they played with toys at Stoddartsville. These lessons cemented the social formations and identities that emerged within early industrial communities in the Middle Atlantic
A Teacher and Her Language Minoritized Students in a Translanguaging Mathematics Classroom: Activating and Suppressing Our Full Linguistic Repertoires for Increased Mathematical Reasoning and Sense-Making
Get PDFThis study delves into translanguaging practices within a mathematics classroom led by a bilingual teacher and attended by language minoritized students. Grounded in translanguaging theory and practices, it investigates the dynamic language interactions between teacher and students, shedding light on the activation and suppression of linguistic features within purported “named languages.” Utilizing diverse data sources, such as audio-recorded lessons and student interviews, the study uncovers patterns in classroom language use. Results highlight the prevalent utilization of the full linguistic repertoire by both teacher and students, especially in elucidating mathematical concepts and fostering conceptual understanding. Furthermore, the study examines how translanguaging facilitates communication, fosters inclusivity, and enhances students\u27 sense-making. Through student interviews, six key themes emerge, including comfort and perceived benefits, language support, preference for mixed-language instruction, challenges with English pronunciation, strategies for understanding, and impacts on participation and confidence. Ultimately, the study advocates for cultivating supportive learning environments that embrace linguistic diversity and promote sense-making, aligning with the essence of translanguaging and the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, alongside recommendations from reform math pedagogy
