School-based Consultation

The purpose of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for a broad-based and pragmatic approach to collaborative consultation and problem-solving within a school context. We will explore collaborative consultative processes, drawing from current perspectives on consultation practices and issues. The complex dynamics of the consultant-consultee relationship as well as the evaluation of the process and outcomes within a problem-solving model of consultation will be examined through course readings, course consultation experiences, and a field-based consultation.
