About

Reflection is key to developing the skills and knowledge that it takes to be a professional counselor, regardless of the setting in which you intend to work. This blog is for us to reflect on what we are learning, pose questions to each other and ourselves and to offer insights and thoughtful feedback. Here are some basics to follow:

 1. CONTRIBUTE. Interact with the blog in some way at least every week by posting or commenting. There are no number or length requirements but consider that contribution is an indication of your commitment to others' as well as your own learning.

 2. INCORPORATE LINKS AND PHOTOS. Enrich your posts and comments with related information that you have found from other sources, give us all more tools and more to think about. Feel free to connect to concepts from your other classes as well.

 3. KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL. The blog is a professional, collegial discussion that extends the learning process for all. Our blog will be "open to the world" even though only we are authors. Practitioners in the field will also be invited to comment on our reflections so use good judgement.

 4. HAVE FUN AND SHARE! Blog writing is simple and authentic. Don't worry about trying to sound smart or creating a perfect post, aim for being genuine and real, even if that means a few typos here and there or an honest and humble confession. You are free to share posts or the blog itself with whomever you like.

 5. I'LL BE REFLECTING TOO! I am a big believer in writing for reflection so I'll be "walking the talk" and blogging along with you. My own professional growth is exceedingly enhanced by engaging with you in this way.
