Jenna Alvarez, associate clinical professor in ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ’s Department of Educational Psychology, collaborated with researchers from Clemson University, Wright State University, and the University of Cincinnati to explore a novel teaching strategy for school counselor trainees. Published in Teaching Practice Briefs, their study examines how one-on-one interviews with school administrators enhance school counselor trainees’ professional identity, leadership, and advocacy skills. This approach provides practical insights, bridging gaps between theoretical learning and real-world application, and aligns with ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ’s mission to prepare impactful, purposeful leaders.
