CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION:

A hybrid course, both online and experiential/lecture seminar designed for counselors and teachers to learn about issues and trends in counseling with multicultural and diverse populations. Topics include culture, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, sexual orientation, mental and physical characteristics, education, family values, religious and spiritual values, and socioeconomic status.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of issues and trends in counseling with multicultural and diverse student populations. Topics include culture, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, mental and physical characteristics, education, family values, religious and spiritual values, socioeconomic status, etc. This class has an experiential component imbedded in the overall design. One goal is to challenge students to examine personal biases, prejudices, discriminatory and pathological belief systems, and subsequently invite students to change attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that may be deemed oppressive in nature – How else could one become a good counselor? Another goal is to heighten student’s critical consciousness, and foster a social justice orientation. Students may experience interpersonal challenges throughout this course in the process of self-examination which may result in uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, guilt, shame, etc. All students are encouraged to participate in their own personal therapy or growth counseling throughout this course.

TEACHING STRATEGIES:

This course is hybrid; therefore, it incorporates traditional lecture and experiential activities as well as online delivery methods using the WebCampus format. This is a Distance Education (DE) course (hybrid model) and will utilize related mechanics and approaches for this type of delivery. Included in this delivery are specific mechanics supported by UNLV through WebCampus. Delivery approaches will include a variety of distance education approaches such as video lectures, discussion groups, and web-based activities designed to acquaint students with social justice and advocacy in counseling and related fields. During the face-to-face portion of this class, there will be opportunities for class discussions, group discussions, and group presentations.

ASSIGNMENTS, EVALUATION PROCEDURES, AND GRADING POLICY:

Graded Assignments: Students are to complete the following assignments:

1. Online Discussions & Activities: Participation and attendance in the discussions and activities are essential components of this class. Students are expected to actively participate in the online class discussions (in WebCampus) and related activities according to the class schedule. These discussions and activities will provide students with opportunities for online dialogue, questions, and interactions related to the class material. Grades will be assigned according to the “Discussion Rubric” (see the “Rubrics” folder on the course homepage in WebCampus for further information). There will be discussion topics and activities each week. Discussions are based on the readings, therefore, students must complete all assigned reading material during the course of this semester. 250 points total, due according to each module – see modules for due dates.

2. Popular Media Collage: Students will create a popular media collage depicting various forms oppression (e.g., social, political, institutional, etc.) including the mechanics of oppression (e.g., stereotypes, biases, prejudices, etc) and discrimination – e.g., racism, sexism, heterosexism, homophobia, genderism, transgenderism, able-bodyism, ageism, classism, et cetera, and also various levels including the individual, family, and society as well the various types including strategic (e.g., strategic racism), structural (e.g., structural racism), institutional (e.g., institutional racism), and so forth. Students will conduct a brief in-class presentation of this collage – Feb 5th. Students may include examples of music, magazines, books, and other forms of media. Each student will discuss the collage in class on February 5th. Students may work in groups of 2 or 3 on this project. 25 points total, due Feb 5th (present Feb 5th).

3. “ISM” Impact Autobiographical Portrait: Students will write a autobiographical portrait of how they have been impacted by various “isms” including – but not limited to – ethnicity, culture, race, appearance and body image, national origin, citizenship status, creed, religion, religious affiliation, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status under applicable law and those opposed by law. Discuss how biases, stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination, power, and privilege have impacted your development. Each student will reflect upon his/her life and discuss some of the most important influences on his/her development, including self-esteem, and self concept – such as who you are and how you became the person and professional that you are today. Discuss your worldview and philosophy of life – in other words, what guides (e.g., values, beliefs, practices, etc.) your decisions and behavior? Who were some of the important influences and how did you develop this set of guiding values, attitudes, and behaviors? What is your social location? Focus will be toward constructs such as self-concept, self-esteem, and identity development (e.g., intersection of multiple identities). Students may want to reflect on a theory of human development and include some thoughts about how you passed through these various stages of development and how you “mastered, managed, manipulated, mangled or bungled” associated tasks of development. Students are encouraged to incorporate personal photos, poetry, art, creative writing, favorite lyrics / music, et cetera. Creativity is encouraged here. Students will conduct an in-class presentation of the “ISM” Impact Autobiographical Portrait as outlined above (due April 8th – 9th). 100 points total, due April 9th.

4. Advocacy Projects: Because this is a class about advocacy, it encourages students to go beyond what a multicultural class might attempt to do in terms of immersion experiences – and thus, advocate. Therefore, students will participate in doing advocacy; rather than just being immersed into a different culture. So, with that rationale as the backdrop, students will conduct two advocacy projects:

a. the first project must involve advocacy for the homeless,

b. the second project must advocacy for either an underrepresented and oppressed group or a social justice topic or issue.

These projects can be done in groups or individually. Time allotment for each project is 10-15 hours. These are designed to be service-learning projects which are an important aspect of this course. Students have the option of engaging in partnerships with community organizations as a way to integrate course material with reflections on real-life experience. It is anticipated that students will compete the first advocacy project in the first half of the semester, and the second advocacy project during the last half of the semester (Week 13, Apr 11-17) – this expectation is based upon the rationale that students will incorporate knowledge learned and apply it accordingly to each project as a way to maximize and enhance the overall experience and development of advocacy skills. There will be an assignment page in WebCampus where students will report on the projects; details of the brief description will be outlined in WebCampus. The entire week 13 (April 11-17) is free of any assignments in order to give the student ample to complete the 2nd advocacy project. 100 points total, due last day of class.

5. Reflection Paper on the Advocacy Projects: Since reflection (self and other) is a major skill that students must develop in order to become effective counselors, students will self-reflect on their experiences of the Advocacy Projects. This reflection has a different focus than the report on the detail and outcome of the advocacy projects; this reflection paper requires students to self-reflect on the “meaning-making” of this experience and how they apply course material to their professional and personal development. Students should discuss what they have learned about themselves as a result of the Advocacy Projects, what conclusions can be drawn including reference to social justice theories, and what emotions are tied to the experiences (e.g., what feelings emerged, what you realized, any struggles you faced, etc.). Grades will be assigned according to a rubric (see rubric in WebCampus); in general grades will be assigned according to breadth of content engaged, analytical use of class material, and evidence of personal insight. There is no set page length; it will vary according to each student’s experience, depth of insight, etc. So, it is recommended that students make this paper about their own personal experience and growth as an advocate – and not simply for a grade. If there is any advice to give on this paper, it is “look into yourself,” rather than looking for a grade. 50 points total, due May 1st.

6. Training Outline or Guidance Lesson on Racism: Students will prepare either a training outline (mental health counselors) or a guidance lesson (school counselors) on racism (e.g., how to deal with racial conflict on the play-ground, resolution skills for racial conflict in couples’ therapy, healing the scars of microagressions). The training outline or guidance lesson should include the following components: 1) A title and outline; 2) Age or grade level of group; 3) Purpose of the activity (e.g., classroom management, developing group cohesion, conflict resolution, building self-esteem, anti-racism, anti-bullying, etc.); 4) Activity and instructions; and 5) Summary. A reference page and resource page should also be included. This paper should be about 100 pages … ok, just kidding, how about 3-5 (no more than 10 pages for the over-achievers – ok?). This paper will coincide with one of the online discussions, so it should be fairly straightforward. 50 points total, due May 1st.

7. Quizzes over Readings: Five (5) quizzes will cover all required readings from class, lecture notes, and handouts. 25 points total, quiz dates are located in WebCampus.

Evaluation Procedures: Students will be evaluated according assignment rubrics, and should utilize the following as an additional guide to their work quality:

Material content, including accuracy of response, depth of thought, integration of supporting literature and research, and overall reflection and creativity; technical content, including the most recent publication of APA style, graduate level (professional) presentation, grammar, and spelling.

3. 100 points = “ISM” Impact Autobiographical Portrait

4. 100 points = Advocacy Projects

5. 50 points = Reflection Paper on the Advocacy Projects

All written assignments MUST be submitted electronically as an MicroSoft-Word document in PC format (No files in other formats, including Macintosh files, WordPerfect, or Microsoft Works files will be accepted). You have full access to Microsoft Office applications at computer labs and campus libraries.

Grading Policy: Grades will be assigned based on the following scale:

|A = 90% - 100% |(+) = 97%-99% |(–) = 90%-93% |600 - 540 points |

|B = 80% - 89% |(+) = 87%-89% |(–) = 80%-83% |539 - 480 points |

|C = 70% - 79% |(+) = 77%-79% |(–) = 70%-73% |479 - 420 points |

|D = 60% - 69% |(+) = 67%-69% |(–) = 60%-63% |419 - 360 points |

|F = 59% & below |(+) = 57%-59% |(–) = 50%-53% |359 - & below |

Note: All course work must be completed on time. If there are extenuating circumstances affecting performance in class, please negotiate with the instructor in writing PRIOR to assignment deadlines. Otherwise, late course work will not be accepted. In accordance with the department policy, incomplete grades ("I") are given only in circumstances that meet university criteria (i.e., death in family, severe illness). For an incomplete assignment, a "B" grade is the highest grade that may be issued.
