1 EDCP 651: Fall 2013 EDCP 651 Fall 2013 Syllabus Instructor: Richard Q. Shin, Ph.D Benjamin Building Cell: (315) Class Meeting Site: Benjamin 3236 Class Meeting Time: 4:15-7:00pm Office Hours: By appointment Course Description: Students investigate practical and theoretical concepts of group dynamics and group process to acquire skills in facilitating various kinds of group interaction with children, adolescents, and adults. They will examine how group counseling approaches with adults may be applied to group work with children and adolescents. Students explore interpersonal dynamics, personal communication styles, fundamental group counseling strategies, and group facilitation skills through class and applied experiences both in and outside of class. The course helps beginning group leaders apply their new knowledge to working in groups with children, adolescents, and adults across diverse settings. Through the use of experiential group activities, students acquire experience in conducting counseling, psychoeducational and task/work groups. As required by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), students learn to facilitate groups by personally participating in a hour in-class group experience (personal growth group). Each class consists of a didactic and experiential component encompassing the discussion of reading materials, experiential exercises, a group session, and journaling. Students should be prepared to practice their group leadership skills with each other as well as with real clients. When appropriate, students will implement the methods and strategies discussed in class at their internship sites. Course Objectives: By the completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify the essential principles of group dynamics; 2. Understand the process components involved in the typical stages of a group s development; 3. Describe the specific ethical and legal issues that are unique to group work; 4. Identify the personal characteristics, leadership styles, orientations, and behaviors of group leaders and their impact on group process; 5. Discuss various approaches to group work, e.g., task and psychoeducational groups; 6. Discuss the principles of multicultural group work and how culture impacts a group; 7. Teach a classroom guidance lesson/large group psychoeducation group; 8. Understand how counseling theories may be applied to group work with children, adolescents, and adults; 9. Design and propose a counseling, psychoeducational, or task group;

Teaching approach: My approach to teaching is informed by the principles of postmodern theory and critical pedagogy. As such, one of my primary goals is to create a space where my knowledge of topics and issues related to group work is not privileged over the knowledge that you all bring to the course. My hope is that we can co- construct a classroom environment where we will feel free to reflect upon complex issues and dynamics, learn from events and

4 interactions that occur throughout the semester, and collectively work against the rigid societal norms and structures constraining all of us. Course Expectations and Professional Dispositions: This course requires students: 1. To engage in a high level of self- exploration and critical self- reflection that includes reflecting on personal and professional experiences, identifying and questioning assumptions and beliefs that affect their actions, willingness to accept and give feedback, and integrating their experiential knowledge gained in this class with their theoretical and technical learning about group work. 2. To participate in a personal growth group experience in the classroom and explore their roles as group leaders and group members within this group experience. This experience is integral to understanding and practicing the skills and process of group work that are necessary for becoming an effective group leader. Students may feel some discomfort exploring issues of personal development (even though we consistently ask clients to do so). While personal disclosures are an integral part of participation in the personal growth group, each student should share only what they are comfortable sharing. 3. Students are expected to display all of the professional dispositions of counselors including (a) openness to new ideas, (b) flexibility, (c) cooperativeness with others, (d) willingness to accept and use feedback, (e) ability to give feedback constructively, (f) awareness of own impact on others, (g) ability to deal with conflict, (h) ability to accept personal responsibility, (i) ability to express feelings effectively and appropriately, (j) respect for diverse views and openness to diversity, (k) attention and adherence to ethical and legal standards, and (l) showing initiative and motivation. Given the nature of this class, students are expected to exhibit personal and professional integrity by maintaining the confidentiality of everyone in the class. 4. Students are expected to demonstrate respect for the professor and their colleagues, e.g., checking , im, or distractions due to laptops will affect students grades. 5. To engage in extensive reading outside of class and to be prepared to discuss these readings in class. It is essential to be up- to- date on the readings so that class time can be used for discussion of materials and practice of skills and techniques. 6. To be committed to learning outside of the box by engaging in experiential activities and group work inside and outside the classroom, e.g., at their internship sites, within task groups, applied experiences, etc. I (the professor) will facilitate the creation of an atmosphere of safety in which you can explore personal views, experiences, and concerns. I encourage you to take risks of disclosing and experiencing discomfort, to challenge yourself to personal exploration, and to stretch yourself since these growth experiences are important to becoming a skilled group counselor. Course Requirements:

5 1. Attendance and Active Participation in Class and in Personal Growth Group (15 points) 2. Media Literacy Project (10 points) 3. Midterm Exam (20 points) 4. Reflection Journals on Personal Growth Group Experience (15 points) 5. Task Group Work and Group Proposal: Designing, planning, proposing, and reflecting on a psychoeducational or counseling group with children or adolescents (total of 30 points) a. Group Proposal (10 pts) b. Task Group Reaction paper (10 pts) c. Group Presentation (10 points) 6. Group Leadership Reflection Paper (10 points) In-class group experiences (Personal Growth Group) In order to provide students with an understanding of group process and group leadership skills, students are required to take part in an in-class group experience. Students will take turns leading and being members of the group. Students grades will not be influenced by the content of what they share in the group, but their level of participation will contribute to the evaluation. Attendance at the personal growth groups is required to receive most of the attendance and participation points. The in-class groups are experiential/personal growth groups. These groups focus on selfexploration, working on personal goals, sharing thoughts and feelings, and here-and-now interactions. These groups are solely for the purpose of providing students with practice in leading groups, insights into group development, and an understanding of what clients experience as members of groups. The group is not a therapy group even though it may be therapeutic for some persons. Students are free to determine what personal disclosures they are willing to make and the depth of these disclosures. Students learning will be enhanced by personal and active commitment to and participation in the group experience. Assignments: 1. Attendance and Active Participation in Class and in Personal Growth Group (15 points) As this is an experiential class with much of the learning occurring in the context of discussion, demonstration, practice sessions, and outside class group experiences students are expected to attend ALL classes and outside class learning experiences. Students are required to read the assigned readings and actively take part in class discussions and group activities as well as in any inside or outside class experiences. To maximize participation points as well as increase individual and collective critical consciousness levels, students will be encouraged to identify dominant discourses expressed during class discussions and activities (Dominant Discourse Checks). Students grades will be impacted by failing to display professional dispositions (e.g., adherence to professional ethics, respect for diverse views, tolerance of ambiguity, appreciation and openness to cultural difference, and CONFIDENTIALITY) and demonstrate respect for the professor and their colleagues, (e.g., checking , im, or distractions due to laptops).

6 2. Media Literacy Presentations (10 points) In this assignment, you are asked to find examples of the theoretical (racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, and ableism) issues as they are occurring in the larger world around us. At one point in the semester, you will be responsible for bringing in an artifact from the media (television, youtube, movie clip, news article, music video, magazine ad, commercial, etc.) to present to the class and facilitate a group critique. Using concepts and theories from class lectures and readings, you will help your peers identify the ways in which your artifact reinforces systems of privilege and oppression in our society. If you decide to present an audio or video clip, it should last up to 5 minutes. The group critique should last approximately 10 minutes. You may me before your presentation week to receive feedback about the appropriateness of the artificat you have chosen to analyze. 3. Midterm Exam (20 points) A midterm exam comprising approximately 50 multiple choice and short-answer questions. 4. Reflection Journals on Personal Growth Group Experience (15 points) Once the inclass personal growth group experience begins, students will be required to keep a journal of their group counseling experiences. After each group session, journal entries should be made immediately and submitted to the instructor. At the end of the course students will submit all their journal entries. Rather than summarizing what happened in the group, your focus in journaling should be upon your own feelings as you experienced them in the group. You may have feelings regarding other people in the group, the leader, yourself or the group in general. Try to make the journal an extension of the group experience rather than a summary. It should be an exercise in self- exploration. 5. Task Group Work and : Developing, planning, proposing, and reflecting on a psychoeducational/counseling group with children or adolescents (30 pts) To prepare for the task of developing and proposing relevant psychoeducational/counseling groups in K-12 settings, students will work in teams to develop and present a proposal for a group with children or adolescents. Students will develop, plan, and present on a proposed psychoeducational or counseling group of 6 sessions for elementary, middle, or high children and adolescents in a school. This assignment will consist of two parts: (i) working as a task group to prepare a group proposal; and (ii) 45 minute presentation to class. (i) : Students are required to work in task groups to develop a clear and convincing proposal for a group (6-8 sessions) with children and adolescents in a school setting. Students (task group members) are required to meet face-to-face at least 3 times to develop the group proposal. In small task groups of 3-4 persons, students will collaborate to develop a clear and convincing proposal for a six to eight (6-8) session counseling/psychoeducational group with children or adolescents. The quality of the group proposal should be such that it could be presented to a principal or for a grant proposal (RFP). The group

7 proposal should be targeted to a specific population and should reflect research related to that population. Proposals should include sections outlining a rationale, objectives, practical considerations, procedures, and evaluation plan. (Proposal: 10 points) (ii) Presentation: Teams will participate in a 45-minute presentation of their group proposal. The teams should approach the presentations as if the class were the school administrators that they need approval for to implement the psychoeducational/counseling groups in a particular school. (Presentation: 10 points) 6. Group Leadership Paper (10 points) Students will write a leadership paper (at least 5 pages) about what they learned about group leadership and themselves as a group leader from planning and leading group during their group experiences during the personal growth group in class and at their practicum/internship sites. Students SHOULD examine the development and growth that occurred in all of their group experiences throughout the semester. Students should include what they learned about group leadership techniques and their leadership style and how these impacted the group process, about culture and how it impacts group work. This reflection paper should include examples or illustrations from the groups to show what personal insights and ah-ha moments students experienced and how they have grown both personally and professionally. Show me what you learned about yourself personally as well as a group leader. USE YOUR TEXTBOOKS to help you describe your leadership style and critical experiences or feelings you experienced in groups. Grading Criteria: A B C pts pts pts.

Each week, journal entries (1 page single-spaced; or 2 pages double-spaced) should be made immediately following the group session. The journals are due to the professor by midnight at rqshin@umd.edu; These journal entries will be very helpful as you write your group leadership reflection paper. MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT YOUR GROUP LEADERSHIP REFLECTION PAPER INSTRUCTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME SO THAT YOU MAY PAY ATTENTION AND RECORD INFORMATION IN YOUR JOURNALS NEEDED TO HELP WRITE THE PAPER. Journals will be collected each week and returned the following week. Full points will be given if all journals are completed. You will be asked to resubmit your journals if they are not of adequate breadth or depth. Rather than summarizing what happened in the group, your focus in writing should be upon your own feelings as you experienced them in the group. You may have feelings regarding other people in the group, the leader, yourself or the group in general. Try to make the journal an extension of the group experience rather than a summary. It should be an exercise in selfexploration. The journal entries should examine the following AS NEEDED: (a) Personal/Individual: This should be the area where you devote most of your attention. What are my attitudes, feelings, beliefs, and reactions/behaviors in the group session? What are my reactions toward other individual group members? What roles did I observe others playing? How did I feel, respond, and behave to their role? What was my level of participation as a group member/group leader?

10 (b) Did anything trigger strong reactions in me? What reactions did I have to other members? What avenue of self-exploration can I explore to learn more about myself? What are my plans to participate differently in the group? Group Leadership and Facilitation Skills: How did the leaders facilitate the groups?
