EDCO 715 Discussion Boards

Three discussion boards will explore therapy demonstrations of various models of counseling. Original posts will be developed in response to the provided prompt on Tuesday of the assigned week. This can be a video, narrated PowerPoint, Videoscribe, written post, etc. (See guidelines in Blackboard). You will develop responses to students who post on your thread and replies to two other students’ original posts over a three day period, ending on Sunday of the assigned week. See guidelines and the rubric in the Assignment Instructions tab in Blackboard.

EDCO 715 Contemporary Theory Presentation/Creative Project

With the course instructor’s assistance, students will form groups and collaboratively research, evaluate, and present a contemporary counseling theory. The group may develop a PowerPoint presentation; however, it may also utilize an Adobe creative suite software, making a video, narrated PowerPoint, group-developed web page, etc. as an alternative to a PowerPoint presentation. Students will interact with other groups around their projects as part of the assignment.

EDCO 715 Personal Counseling Theory Paper/Creative Project

The student will combine class resources and additional outside research (ten additional sources) to develop a 15-20 page paper (not including title page, abstract, and references) describing their emerging “working theory” of counseling. Alternatively, the student will develop a creative project utilizing an Adobe suite software or other software. The project will address similar content. The student should contact the instructor and present the idea when choosing this option for clarification of expectations.
