Use the Skills Assessment Rubric and the Professional Dispositions Rubric to evaluate the counseling skills employed by the counselor in the videos. Provide your feedback in a minimum of 175 words.
Consider the following questions:
- Which behaviors and dispositions were professional and effective?
- How did these positive skills foster rapport and effective communication? Provide examples from the videos.
- Which behaviors and dispositions were unprofessional and ineffective?
- How did they inhibit or prevent rapport and effective communication? Provide examples from the videos.
- What approach would you take to provide feedback that is constructive and helpful? What are some helpful strategies or guidelines to keep in mind?
- What feedback would be easy to discuss with the counselor and why?
- What feedback would be challenging to review with the counselor and why?
- How should you handle a situation in which a peer or colleague does not respond well to feedback?
Note: You do not need to submit your rubrics for this discussion, but you should reference specific and relevant sections of these documents in your discussion posts this week.
Note: The rubrics you will use for this discussion will be the same rubrics faculty will use to evaluate students in Week 2 of this course.
