The focus in this course will be on preparing counselors who will be able to assure students of culturally diverse backgrounds access to appropriate services and opportunities which promote maximum development. Counseling students will be expected to conduct self-examination of their personal values, attitudes, and beliefs regarding cultural diversity in the schools. Counseling techniques will be explored which will foster the interest of culturally diverse students in careers that have been traditionally limited or closed. Also emphasized will be small group and classroom activities which enhance self-esteem and cultural awareness, and which develop acceptance and appreciation of cultural diversity.
