Book excerpt: Hernandez (2013) claimed that the economic landscape in the United States of American (U.S.) has changed over the last decade, increasing the number of children of low social class standing. Counselors for Social Justice (CSJ; 2011) noted that an achievement gap exists between children of low social class standing and their middle and upper social class standing peers. School counselors and school counselor-in-training (SCITs) serve as advocates to address systemic barriers impeding academic, career, and personal/social success of all students (American School Counselor Association; ASCA, 2012; CSJ, 2011; Erford, 2011). Therefore, the need to understand school counselors’ and SCITs’ multicultural self-efficacy is imperative (Holcomb-McCoy, Harris, Hines, & Johnston, 2008). ASCA and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP, 2016; 2009) provide standards and guidelines for training school counselors to address issues of social class and classism. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between SCITs multicultural competency training and their self-efficacy in social class and classism training regardless of race/ethnicity and gender. This quantitative study consisted of 169 SCITs from CACREP and non-CACREP school counselor programs across the five Association of Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) regions. The survey used in this study contained modified versions of the Multicultural Counseling Competence and Training Survey-Revised (School Counselor Version) (MCCTS-R; Holcomb-McCoy & Day-Vines, 2004); the School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSE; Bodenhorn & Skaggs, 2005); the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR; Paulhus, 1984); and a social class and classism training questionnaire and demographic questionnaire developed for the purposes of this study. Results from this study indicated program accreditation status (i.e., CACREP and non-CACREP) does not appear to influence multicultural competence or self-efficacy, but non-CACREP status did seem to increase perceived social class and classism training competence. In addition, results suggested low social class standing appeared to negatively influence perceived multicultural competency, self-efficacy, and social class and classism training more so than middle or upper social class groups. The number of multicultural competency courses and training level were consistent significant predictors in perceived multicultural competency, self-efficacy, and social class and classism training. However, region did not appear to influence perceived multicultural competency, self-efficacy, or social class and classism training. Finally, this study found a moderate, positive relationship between perceived multicultural competency and self-efficacy regarding social class and classism training. Implications from this study supported previous research (i.e., Constantine, 2001b; Constantine & Yeh, 2001; Holcomb-McCoy, 2005, 2001; Holcomb-McCoy, Gonzalez, & Johnston, 2009; Holcomb-McCoy & Myers, 1999; Larson, Suzuki, Gillespie, Potenza, Bechtel, & Toulouse, 1992) that the number of multicultural competency training courses, training level, and counseling experiences increased perceived multicultural competence and self-efficacy in social class and classism training. Therefore, SCITs should experience social class issues early and often in training through role-plays and modeling to improve the multicultural self-efficacy in social class and classism training (Cartwright, Daniels, & Zhang, 2008; Owen, Bodenhorn, & Bryant, 2010).

Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION In the era of globalization and technology, education is becoming easier and accessible from every corner of the world. Due to the advantage of International, Central and State education boards, every student is been able to access education from anywhere in the world without having the issue of changes in the academic curriculum. School is the place where students from every background study together under one roof. In this scenario, it is important to see whether they have been educated and taught well. School counselor plays significant role in dealing with all students' issues without being non-judgmental to their background or socioeconomic status. As India is been evolving with diverse culture in terms of religion, race, caste, language, life style and values, school counselors need to have the necessary knowledge, skills, and awareness to provide multi culturally competent counseling. One of the major challenges school counselors face is uncertainty about whether they are sufficiently prepared to meet the needs of multiracial, multilingual, and multicultural students. Without training experience in the issues of this population, school counselors generally feel that they lack the knowledge and skills necessary to serve students from diverse background. In the professions of counseling psychology, mental health, and education, culture and its relationship to sound practice in these fields have been studied for decades. School counseling services have been in effect since the mid-1960s and the need for multicultural competent counselors was recognized even then. 1.1 PSYCHOLOGY IN INDIA In the Indian context we can see that for more than ten decade psychology especially academics continued to be a foreign discipline. Looking at the history of psychology in India the seeds of psychology was first planted in Calcutta University in 1916 that had western,

Book Synopsis Assessing the Impact that Professional Development Training Has on the Self-efficacy of School Counselors, Including Rural School Counselors by : Patrick J. Millmore
Download or read book Assessing the Impact that Professional Development Training Has on the Self-efficacy of School Counselors, Including Rural School Counselors written by Patrick J. Millmore and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boyd and Walter (1975) identified the need to provide supervision for school counselors almost forty years ago. Michelle Obama, the First Lady of the United States (2014), in her address at the American School Counselor Association Conference stated that school counselors needed to be provided with professional development opportunities designed specifically for their needs. Though the need for supervision and professional training has been identified, there has been little recent research done addressing the unique professional development needs of school counselors in rural America. There is also a paucity of research that assesses the impact of state-sponsored school counseling professional development training. The first article summarizes the research on school counselors in rural America and indicates the need to provide them with professional development opportunities and/or supervision to meet the higher demands placed on them and the lower availability of resources to meet those demands. The second article examines the impact of state-sponsored professional development training on school counselors' self-efficacy, including school counselors working in rural school settings. Albert Bandura's self-efficacy theory (1986) and research indicating the impact self-efficacy has on a number of indicators of counselor well-being and then their provision of counseling services served as the theoretical base for this research. The assessment instrument utilized in the study was based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory. Outcomes indicated that state-sponsored professional development training may have similar efficacy with rural school counselors as with those from more urban and suburban settings and when provided via web-based as well as through site-based delivery. Caution should be used when interpreting these results due to the validity threats in a non-equivalent posttest design and with small sample sizes. Additional research is recommended.

Book Synopsis School Counseling for Black Male Student Success in 21st Century Urban Schools by : Malik S. Henfield
Download or read book School Counseling for Black Male Student Success in 21st Century Urban Schools written by Malik S. Henfield and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussions and research related to the salience of Black male student needs and development in relation to their general success and well?being is well?documented in many fields. Indeed, many studies have found that healthy masculine identity development is associated with a number of positive outcomes for males in general, including Black males. In school counseling literature, however, this discussion has been relatively absent—particularly regarding those students living in urban contexts. Indeed, research devoted to the study of Black males in the school counseling literature focuses almost exclusively on race and issues associated with its social construction with only cursory, if any, attention given to their masculine identity development as a function of living in urban communities and attending urban schools. Based on this lack of information, it is probably a safe assumption that intentional, systematic, culturally relevant efforts to assist Black males in developing healthy achievement and masculine identities based on their unique personal, social, academic experiences and future career goals are not being applied by school counselors concerned with meeting students’ needs. School counselors are in a unique position, nonetheless, to lend their considerable expertise—insights, training and skills—to improving life outcomes among Black males—a population who are consistently in positions of risk according to a number of quality of life indicators. Without knowledge and awareness of Black males’ masculine identity development in urban areas, coupled with the requisite skills to influence the myriad factors that enhance and impede healthy development in such environments, they are missing out on tremendous opportunities which other professions appear to understand and, quite frankly, seem to take more seriously. As such, this book proposes to accomplish two specific goals: 1. Highlight the plight of Black males with specific emphasis on the ecological components of their lives in relation to current school culture and trends. 2. Encourage school counselors to give more thought to Black male identity development that takes into consideration differential experiences in society as a whole, and schools in particular, as a function of the intersection of their race, as well as their gender. The first rationale for this book, then, is to highlight the plight of Black males with specific emphasis on the ecological components of their lives in relation to current school culture and trends (e.g., standards?based accountability practices) in urban environments. However, I recognize the role of school counselors has never been fully integrated into educational reform programs. As such, their positions are often unregulated and determined by people in positions of power who do not understand their training, job?specific standards and, thus, potential impact on the lives of Black male students. As a result, their vast potential to develop strong interventions designed to address the myriad racial and masculine factors that serve to enhance and impede Black males’ academic achievement is often unrealized. Therefore, the second reason for this special issue is to include the scholarship of professional school counselors and counselor educators with policy change in mind. Scholars will be invited to contribute manuscripts that explore race, masculinity and academic achievement in relation to the role of school counselors. This is designed to encourage school counselors and counselor educators to give more thought to Black male identity development that takes into consideration differential experiences in society as a whole, and schools in particular, as a function of the intersection of their race, as well as their gender.

Book Synopsis Multicultural Competence and Racial Microaggression as Predictors of Career Counseling Self-eficcacy Among Counselors of Color by : Kristie Marie Williams
Download or read book Multicultural Competence and Racial Microaggression as Predictors of Career Counseling Self-eficcacy Among Counselors of Color written by Kristie Marie Williams and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of career counseling treatment outcomes is determined in part by the competence of career counselors themselves who must work with an increasingly expanding range of client diversity including but not limited to more clients of color. Career counselors' self-efficacy in general, and particularly regarding multicultural clientele, is a key component of career counseling effectiveness. This may be especially true for career counselors of color although little research has been conducted to assess variables predictive of self-efficacy among career counselors of color. Due to the potential that their own personal experiences of racial insults may impact treatment competency perceptions, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether self-perceived multicultural competence and self-perceived racial microaggression predicted career counseling self-efficacy among counselors of color. Minority stress theory informed the underpinnings of the present study. One hundred eighteen licensed professional counselors and licensed rehabilitation counselors, self-identified as counselors of color and practicing career counseling, completed the Career Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale, the Racial and Ethnic Microaggression Scale, the Multicultural Counseling Inventory, and a demographic questionnaire. Four hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that stronger career counseling therapeutic process and competency self-efficacy beliefs were significantly predicted by self-perceived increases in multicultural competency skills. However, neither other forms of self-perceived multicultural competencies nor self-perceived microaggression predicted self-efficacy beliefs. Implications for multicultural theory, career counselor practice and education, and future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among self-efficacy, self advocacy, and multicultural counseling competency of school counselors currently practicing in the US. The research questions guided this study included (a) What are the direct and indirect influences of school counselor self-efficacy on multicultural counseling competence? (b) Is the relationship between self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competence mediated by self-advocacy for school counselors? The data were collected from 306 school counselors practicing in the US. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) were used in the data analysis in the study. The results suggested self-efficacy significantly predicted multicultural counseling competence among the US school counselors. The results of the hypothesized structural model also suggested that self-advocacy had a strong indirect effect on multicultural counseling competence mediated by self-efficacy. The results of the data analysis, discussions of the findings, implications of the current study, and limitations and future research directions are presented herein.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity by : Veronica Benet-Martinez
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity written by Veronica Benet-Martinez and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiculturalism is a prevalent worldwide societal phenomenon. Aspects of our modern life, such as migration, economic globalization, multicultural policies, and cross-border travel and communication have made intercultural contacts inevitable. High numbers of multicultural individuals (23-43% of the population by some estimates) can be found in many nations where migration has been strong (e.g., Australia, U.S., Western Europe, Singapore) or where there is a history of colonization (e.g., Hong Kong). Many multicultural individuals are also ethnic and cultural minorities who are descendants of immigrants, majority individuals with extensive multicultural experiences, or people with culturally mixed families; all people for whom identification and/or involvement with multiple cultures is the norm. Despite the prevalence of multicultural identity and experiences, until the publication of this volume, there has not yet been a comprehensive review of scholarly research on the psychological underpinning of multiculturalism. The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity fills this void. It reviews cutting-edge empirical and theoretical work on the psychology of multicultural identities and experiences. As a whole, the volume addresses some important basic issues, such as measurement of multicultural identity, links between multilingualism and multiculturalism, the social psychology of multiculturalism and globalization, as well as applied issues such as multiculturalism in counseling, education, policy, marketing and organizational science, to mention a few. This handbook will be useful for students, researchers, and teachers in cultural, social, personality, developmental, acculturation, and ethnic psychology. It can also be used as a source book in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on identity and multiculturalism, and a reference for applied psychologists and researchers in the domains of education, management, and marketing.
Book Synopsis School Counselors' Self-efficacy and Training Needs when Working with the Latino Student Population by : Abraham Cázares-Cervantes
Download or read book School Counselors' Self-efficacy and Training Needs when Working with the Latino Student Population written by Abraham Cázares-Cervantes and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos have the lowest high school completion rates in the United States (United States Census, 2010). School counselors are well positioned to lead the efforts to increase these rates. Indeed, such leadership is mandated by both the ethical and program standards of the American School Counselor Association. However, little is known about school counselors' perceived self-efficacy and training needs with regard to working with Latino students. An instrument measuring school counselors' perceived self-efficacy and training needs in 16 areas was administered using a cross-sectional observational design. The top five areas of perceived self-efficacy were: (a) "Conceptualize Latino students' cultures as different rather than deficient;" (b) "Understand how my own cultural values, stereotypes and biases may influence my work with Latino students;" (c) "Understand the impact of discrimination and racism on Latino student development;" (d) "Use counseling techniques that are culturally appropriate when working with Latino student;" and (e) "Understand how standardized testing and assessment instruments have critical limits when applied to Latino students." The top five areas of need in terms of training were: (a) "Use functional Spanish to work more effectively with the Latino population;" (b) "Understanding how the students' Latino culture heritage impacts their education values;" (c) "Interpret Latino students' nonverbal body language and its significance in counseling;" (d) "Understand how the students' Latino cultural heritage impacts their educational goals;" and (e) "Connect with community organizations that support Latino students' development." Inferential statistical analyses revealed no difference between the rankings of self-efficacy and training needs. The implications for practice and research were discussed.
Book Synopsis Mental Health Counselor's Self-efficacy and the Relationship to Multicultural Counseling Competency by : Maria Catherine Havens
Download or read book Mental Health Counselor's Self-efficacy and the Relationship to Multicultural Counseling Competency written by Maria Catherine Havens and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study investigated the relationship between mental health counselor's self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competency. Counselor self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competency were assessed using two self-report measures. The Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) and the Multicultural Counseling Awareness Scale: Form B (MCAS:B) were administered to members of the Oregon Mental Health Counseling Association using the Diliman Method for Internet Surveys. Multiple linear regression was used to identify any relationship between multicultural competency and counselor self-efficacy. Data was collected yielding a response rate of 35% which indicated only marginal statistical significance between counselor self-efficacy and multicultural competence. These results suggest that there could be a relationship between multicultural competence and counselor self-efficacy and has many implications for future research.
