Description: Experiential course that integrates counseling theory into practical application under supervision. WI law requires that school counseling graduates be prepared to counsel students in grades K-12. If you are interning in a school that has just primary and secondary divisions, the hours are split 50-50 (120-120 direct). Some districts are now using a tri-level split, with 200 hours split between three levels (Elementary, Middle School and High School). However students split the internship hours, a minimum of 240 hours of the total hours in 'direct service' through counseling individual students and small groups of students and providing classroom curriculum delivery sessions is required. This field work is combined with a weekly group seminar providing additional supervision and group discussions of topics relevant to the professional practice of school counseling. Audio/video tapes, live supervision, and written transcripts will be required to facilitate supervision. For on-campus program: Students planning to complete in one semester should sign up for 6 credits. Students planning to complete in two semester should sign up for 3 credits each semester. For online program: Students need a minimum of two terms for a total of 6 credits. School Counseling students cannot complete the full internship experience in summer, only up to one summer term may be taken. Instructor consent required.
