Your task is to  find resources related to counseling in general, or school counseling in particular, related to the population mentioned in the area (category) you have  been assigned to.

To help this become a useful repository of information on working with people of diverse backgrounds, each person in the group needs to find a different source of information, and list the primary implications for counseling that the source states.

Each person in the group is required to summarize the article, provide a list of the key issues the article asserts counselors need to be aware of, and then discuss implications related specifically to school counseling practice.  That’s three paragraphs, at a minimum!

There is no shortage of articles on each of these topics available via ERIC/PsycINFO/PsychArticles.  You can also use other credible, Internet-based resources.  Simply provide information on the source in your post so that other people can find the article – web address for internet-based articles, and author names, year, title, and journal name for other articles.

I expect that this assignment can be done entirely online. The only ‘hard part’ is making sure that you and a classmate do not choose identical articles.

If you have any questions, let me know.
