Discussion 2: Multicultural Awareness Case Studies
Case studies tell stories. They present a worldview of complex and contextually rich scenarios often involving unique, conflicting, or sensitive problems. As an instructional strategy, case studies enhance program expertise and facilitate student learning. Case studies are used to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This practice helps students articulate and defend positions, evaluate courses of action, and consider different points of views about multicultural awareness illustrated in the case studies.
For this Discussion, you examine the case studies in the folders in the counselors office at the Walden School in this weeks media, Student Case Study. Think about each students background and multicultural issues. Then select a student. Reflect on your personal multiculturalism and how it might challenge or improve your ability to work with the student you selected.
Post by Day 4 a brief description of the case you selected. With the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, American Counseling Association, and American School Counselor Association standards in mind, identify the multicultural factors that you might consider in counseling the student. Describe the multicultural factors that could challenge you when working with the student and explain why. Briefly describe one strategy you might apply to enhance your cultural competence. Finally, explain how you might improve your skills in that area.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources and the current literature using appropriate APA format and style.

A two- to three-page (500- to 750-word) paper, double-spaced with 12-point Arial fontStep 1 Read the scenario.According to a 2003 survey in the United Kingdom, many recent college graduates, who had not yet found their first jobs, were already planning \”career breaks\” and were maintaining their hobbies and other interests. As one report put it, \”the next generation of workers is determined not to wind up on the hamster wheel of long hours with no play.\” Part of the problem seems to be that many already see their friends \”putting in more than 48 hours a week\” at work. Career experts reviewing the results concluded that many of these recent college graduates \”are not looking for high-pay, high-profile jobs anymore.\” Instead, they seem to prefer to \”compartmentalize\” their lives and decrease the number of hours they spend at work so that they can pursue their hobbies and interests.Step 2 Answer the following questions.Based on the scenario above, do you think these findings in the United Kingdom are also applicable in the United States? If so, what career advice would you give to these recent college graduates if you were mentoring them? Explain three key pieces of advice.

A two- to three-page (500- to 750-word) paper, double-spaced with 12 point Arial fontStep 1 Read the scenario.Simuflite, a Texas aviation training company, expected to beat the competition with FasTrak-its computer-based training (CBT) curriculum for corporate pilots. Instead, the new venture sent Simuflite into a nose dive. An analysis revealed that in traditional ground-school training, pilots asked questions and learned from war stories told by classmates and instructors. However, with FasTrak, pilots sat in front of a computer for hours, trying to absorb information. Their only interaction was to tap the computer screen to provide answers to questions, and that novelty wore off quickly. Pilots soon got bored with the CBT ground school, and as a result, it was deemed ineffective.Step 2 Answer the questions.Post responses to the following questions:What does Simuflite\’s experience suggest about the limitations of interactive media and CBT?In which situations is CBT most likely to be beneficial to the trainees?

Discussion 1: Multicultural Awareness and Cultural Competence
Multiculturalism is a powerful force. It is reshaping Americas school system. In a broad worldview, the concept of multiculturalism refers to both demographic shifts and a range of emerging topics, such as religion, ethnicity, geographic area, socioeconomic background, gender, and sexual orientation. How do you prepare yourself to address the changing demographics in your school? What skills or knowledge do you need to counsel students with a behavior that is not the norm?
Among the contemporary issues facing the school counseling profession, perhaps the most challenging is how to operationalize multicultural counseling competence. Theorists have offered a three-dimensional framework to define cultural competence: cultural awareness and beliefs; cultural knowledge; and cultural skills (Holcomb-McCoy & Chen-Hayes, 2015). In addition to acquiring these attributes, it is essential that school counselors participate in self-assessments to gain an understanding of who they are, what they believe, what their biases are, and how to separate those personal aspects from the counseling process. School counselors have the responsibility to not assume that all students share a common measure of what may be considered \”normal\” behavior.
It is important to recognize that school counselors are guided by the ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors in ways that strive for exemplary cultural competence by ensuring personal beliefs or values are not imposed on students or other stakeholders (ASCA, 2010, p. 5). These standards are aligned with the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) Standards that underscore understanding the cultural context of relationships, issues, and trends in a multicultural society (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, n.d.-b).
For this Discussion, review this weeks resources. Focus on the diversity and advocacy standards set by the professional organizations. Then, consider your personal multicultural awareness and cultural competence. Think about the stereotypes you may hold and your cultural tolerance. Finally, consider how your cultural bias and worldview might influence your effectiveness as a school counselor.
Post by Day 3 a brief explanation of your self-awareness of multicultural issues. Explain the importance of multicultural awareness and cultural competence to the practice of school counseling.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources and the current literature using appropriate APA format and style
