Counselor Pedagogy

AUTHORS: an nguyen and lynn cartwright-punnett

This course development was also supported by past Pedagogy faculty members: David Price, Melody Jaros, Michael Pershan, Javier Ronquillo Rivera, Evelyn Owhor, Sam Hilkey, Lisa Garcia, and Giselle George.

Counselors are often described as the heart of BEAM programs: their near-peer relationship with students in the academic and social settings of BEAM is integral to the program’s community. The Counselor Pedagogy course was designed to support counselors where they are and build their toolkit, whether just to help students through summer at BEAM or to prepare the counselor for a future career in teaching.
