{"title":"Fostering Connection and Authenticity in Online Counselor Education through Relational Pedagogy","authors":"Laura Bruneau, Blaine Reilly","doi":"10.22371/tces/0007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22371/tces/0007","url":null,"abstract":"1 Adams State University, Alamosa, CO, USA 2 Adams State University, Alamosa, CO, USA What does it mean to connect with our students? How can we think about this sense of connection in a rapidly changing digital age? As posed by Harriet Schwartz (2019), these questions stress the notion of mattering in online and distance education. Given the influx of hybrid and online Counselor Education programs in recent years (Snow et al., 2018), it is paramount to reevaluate our pedagogical approaches to counselor education. One framework for training counselors is Relational Cultural Theory (RCT; Jordan, 2010; 2017). Within the counselor education literature, RCT has been applied to experiential coursework (Lertora et al., 2020), supervision (Lenz, 2014), and doctorallevel advising (Purgason et al., 2016). A relational approach posits learning as a byproduct of the interaction between people through mutual empathy, empowerment, and authenticity (Lertora et al., 2020). In nurturing these connections, students are empowered and develop a sense of self-worth. Educators, in turn, flourish professionally and personally, potentially reducing attrition and burnout. Moreover, the teacher-student relationship demands an exploration of inherent power dynamics (Schwartz, 2019). Education requires educators to actively address the issues of race, gender, and class. Instructors must not replicate the power structures; when doing so, systems of privilege are further rooted (hooks, 1994). However, “we are far less aware of our identities that grant us privilege than those that bring marginalization, discrimination, hate, and violence” (Schwartz, 2019, p. 7). Instructors also need to name the power difference in the professor-student relationship as full transparency is critical. As hooks (1994) described, “professors who expect students to share confessional narratives but who are themselves unwilling to share are exercising power in a manner that could be coercive” (p. 21). Indeed, having a sense of vulnerability is necessary for the relational space to grow and flourish.","PeriodicalId":188478,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technology in Counselor Education and Supervision","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133190003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, experiential learning, a primary component for counselor education students, can be particularly challenging for some instructors as they may struggle with developing key learning competencies and experiences via distance formats (Schreiber et al., 2021). Using the Theory of Online Learning Quality as a theoretical framework (Hathaway, 2009), we provide practical implications for how faculty can implement best practices for distance learning while maintaining active engagement for counseling students. In addition, we review online learning from a social justice lens, evaluating the diverse needs of various counseling students’ identities and the unique challenges they face that impact curriculum.","PeriodicalId":188478,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technology in Counselor Education and Supervision","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121070976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tremble","doi":"10.22371/tces/0002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22371/tces/0002","url":null,"abstract":"1 University of San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA 2 University of San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA 3 University of San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA Counselor Education programs have historically prepared and trained trainees for the in person realities of the mental and behavioral health workforce. To aid in that training, counselor education programs in the United States have a long history of conducting clinical instruction in on-campus university counseling training clinics (Meyers & Smith, 1995) and community sites. These programs are typically described as brick and mortar clinics (see Hittner and Fawcett, 2012). While the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Program (CACREP, 1994) at one time developed standards for what were formerly known as counselor education laboratories, current CACREP (2016) standards no longer include such guidance. Holden and Kern (1996) described a case study in the physical design of an on-campus counselor education clinic, and Myers (1994) edited a volume on the topic of developing counselor education libraries. However, this work from the 1990s pre-dates the advent of web-based video conferencing technologies and consequently offers no guidance on the implementation of such technology in a modern counselor education training clinic. Despite the technology and infrastructure of telehealth being available since the mid 1990s, there was not a wide adoption among counselor educators to train students to utilize telehealth options or for community mental health clinicians in seeing clients virtually. The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has literally forced mental health providers to see clients remotely and amplified the need for telehealth training models, as Ortiz and Levine (2021) describe in their recent article. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has required that Counselor Education programs teach and provide training to students on effectively utilizing telehealth options. While many Counselor Education programs heavily rely on community sites to provide the necessary practicum and internship experiences for their trainees, many community sites during the pandemic were not able to provide telehealth options to their clients, supervisors were not trained in telehealth or virtual supervision, and many counselor education programs did not provide comprehensive training needed for students to know how to provide ethical and competent counseling in telehealth long term. However, from March 2020, the need to adopt and increase training in telehealth is no longer an innovative idea or elective, but With this article the authors hope to establish a precedent of publishing case studies in technology related implementation in counselor education and supervision with a focus on factors that drive as well as hinder such implementation.
