Combinatorially Orthogonal Paths
Get PDFVectors x=(x1,x2,...,xn)T and y=(y1,y2,...,yn)T are combinatorially orthogonal if |{i:xiyi≠0}|≠1. An undirected graph G=(V,E) is a combinatorially orthogonal graph if there exists f:V→ℝn such that for any u,v∈V, uv∉E iff f(u) and f(v) are combinatorially orthogonal. We will show that every graph has a combinatorially orthogonal representation. We will show the bounds for the combinatorially orthogonal dimension of any path Pn
Eric Carle
Get PDFIf you grew up or had a child in the United States after 1969, the work of Eric Carle has touched your life. Carle was a German American illustrator, graphic designer, art director, and children’s book author, who is best known for his work The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Recommendations for Counselor Education and Supervision Programs to Improve Gatekeeping Processes Developed from Doctoral Student Experiences
Get PDFThe purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of eleven doctoral students at three CACREP accredited programs to address issues in counselor education and supervision programs and faculty face regarding gatekeeping. The information was used to develop and provide recommendations for gatekeeping procedures that can be implemented at the departmental and classroom levels. Ways programs can improve the training of doctoral students for gatekeeping roles and responsibilities, steps faculty can take to create an environment which supports gatekeeping at their institution, as well as support doctoral students as they grow into future gatekeepers of the profession are discussed
Mindfulness Misconceptions in Counselor Education and Supervision: Mitigating Vicarious Trauma Among Counselors-in-Training
Get PDFAs counselors-in-training (CITs) continue to address a larger client base with pandemic induced mental health stressors, they may experience increased levels of vicarious trauma (VT) that can jeopardize the quality of treatment, as well as their own well-being. Thus, VT among CITs should be recognized as a priority problem among counselor educators. Despite well-documented personal and professional benefits of mindfulness, most CITs will not receive mindfulness education or training. Recognizing the relatively low rate of integration of mindfulness within CES, it is necessary to address several misconceptions about mindfulness that may be hindering the effective inclusion of mindfulness resources and practice in counselor education. This manuscript first reviews the existing literature associated with VT and CES situated within the context of the ongoing impact of the pandemic, both in a clinical and educational context. Following a consideration of the reasons for CITs increased likelihood to experience VT, the manuscript turns toward a consideration of mindfulness as both a pedagogical lens and engaged practice. Promoting the need for mindfulness education within CACREP programs, the manuscript identifies three misconceptions about mindfulness that preclude many counseling programs from dedicating additional resources to mindfulness education. In closing, the manuscript addresses each of these misconceptions and offers recommendations for the inclusion of mindfulness across counselor training programs
Utilizing the SAFE-T Model and Anti-racist Counseling Principles for Suicide Assessment and Teaching Counselors in Training
Get PDFTraining on suicide assessment and intervention in college counseling centers is crucial. The SAFE-T model is effective when teaching counselors in training (CITs) in training clinics on college campuses as students learn how to assess clients’ suicide risk level. We share how the SAFE-T model, in tandem with anti-racist counselor education practices, can enhance training in programs with training clinics based on our clinic at The Pennsylvania State University, followed by a case study to exemplify how to synthesize both practices for robust clinical outcomes
Preparing Future Counselors to Work with BIPOC Identified Males: The Integration of Hip Hop in Counselor Education
Get PDFThis study used a narrative inquiry to examine how BIPOC-identified male counselor educators integrated Hip Hop in their counseling practices and teaching to promote healing. The results of the study suggest Hip Hop offers modes of expression and modes of connection useful in counseling practice and in the training of future counselors. Practical implications for the use of Hip Hop in counselor education classrooms and counseling sessions are explored
An Exploration of Authors’ Circle: A Scholarly Writing Peer Feedback Process
Get PDFDoctoral students need to develop scholarly writing skills if they plan to work in academia. This study focused on the lived experiences of five counselor education doctoral students engaging in a peer feedback activity throughout a course designed to help them develop writing skills. The researcher identified five main themes from the data: (a) hesitancy and normalizing the experience; (b) development as a writer; (c) learning about, developing relationships with, and collaborating with peers; (d) self-confidence; and (e) areas to consider. The author discusses implications for teaching and research
Practical Interventions for Groupwork Leader Training in Master’s Counseling Programs
Get PDFGroupwork in counseling has been utilized to promote client wellness, but little attention has been paid to the development and standardization of group leadership skills training in counselor education. This paper highlights this gap and offers practical, evidence-based solutions to help counselor educators train effective group leaders at the master’s level. The authors developed skill-building solutions using the core competencies for group leadership training in the Professional Standards for the Training of Group Workers (2000) by the Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW)
“We\u27re Not Thriving, But We\u27re Trying.” Exploring Undergraduate Students\u27 Resilience During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFUndergraduate college students found their lives upended when Covid-19 pandemic mitigation efforts mandated them to leave their school settings and continue their education on virtual platforms. Research on the pandemic and related mitigation efforts has found undergraduate students to be negatively impacted. Today’s undergraduate students are primarily made up of Generation Z who are identified as having a higher reported incidence of mental health issues and have been described as less resilient when compared to other generations. Resilience is integral to undergraduate students’ mental health and educational persistence. This study sought to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Generation Z undergraduate students, factors of resilience that have supported them during the pandemic, and the elements on the college campus that promote or impede resilience development. Utilizing a qualitative study design and grounded theory methodology, the study found resilience development may have been compromised during the pandemic when the typical educational and social structures that promote resilience development were disrupted. The study took place on a private college campus in upstate New York. Twenty-seven Generation Z undergraduate students participated in focus groups to share their experience during the pandemic and its subsequent impact. The study participants identified the pandemic having a negative impact upon their mental health and academic competence with instructors and campus support services being integral to resilience development. Understanding how resilience can be promoted in the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic will be necessary to support students as they move through their collegiate experience. This study is relevant to the fields of education and social work as it has implications for both educational leadership and social work policy and practice
