Journal Entry:
Write a journal entry as an intern student in her week as a school counselor in a high school setting. This week she encountered these situations
- Assisted in drafting and mailing out failing letters for high school seniors
- Met with nine-grade students who are in danger of repeating grades to discuss failing grades.
- reached out and called parents of students who have n=bad attendance rates throughout the school year.
Take some time to reflect on this week’s experiences, feelings, and ideas. Write a substantive post not only on the content of your field experiences but, more importantly, on what you gained from your counseling sessions, group guidance, stakeholder interactions, and how you can apply that knowledge in your role as a professional counselor. You may also wish to reflect on the group process or your reactions to school counseling topics discussed in group supervision or the course room. Although this is a personal reflection, your post should demonstrate ongoing critical thought and a professional communication style.
A significant portion of a graduate degree program is writing well and demonstrating the basic rules of grammar, proper spelling, and the current APA Style Manual rules. The first person will be used in this class, but you are still expected to use sources and correct APA format.
