Each student or potentially student pair (at discretion of instructor) will prepare an approximately 15-30 minute presentation (required length will depend on class size and will be communicated prior to Unit 6) and will be graded on content and presentation style. With respect to the latter, this presentation will be viewed as an opportunity to present professional material in a public forum. Students will be expected to convey information in a clear and coherent manner, and to have a firm command of the information that they are presenting. While students may use notes, students are providing a "real world" type of family or parenting psycho-educational format that may be readily applied in a future employment position.  Consider a fairly specific population (i.e., parents of teens, couples, single parents, victims of trauma, foster care, etc.).  Students should also be prepared to answer questions at the end of their presentation concerning the information presented.  Visual aids or handouts are not required, however, they are encouraged as this content could be readily applied in a future employment setting. Fellow students will serve as your "population audience" to mimic a counseling setting.
