Multicultural Topic Presentation

Each student will prepare a power point presentation on a multicultural counseling topic. The presentation should address an area of diversity germane to the content of this course. Examples of topics could be counseling Asian-American students, counseling students identifying as LGBTQQI, students living with disabilities, etc. However, regardless of the student preference, the professor must approve the topic during Week 4. Your power point presentation should provide background information on the topic (based on research found in peer-reviewed journal articles and your textbook), as well as explanations for how culturally competent counselors, coaches, advisors, educational leaders, managers, etc. can adequately address needs/issues (select role based on career goals). The presentation should cover 30-minutes as if it was being presented as professional development. These headings should be covered in your presentation:

1. The topic and rationale for selecting the topic (brief)
2. Research specific to the multicultural counseling topic including characteristics and concerns within and among the diverse group you selected (CACREP IIG 2a)
3. Identify issues related to barriers that impede the academic, career, and personal/social needs of the diverse population selected (CACREP SC E2)
4. The school counselor role in addressing the needs of students and families (individual, family, group, and community strategies, counseling theories, approaches, techniques for working with and advocating for this diverse population; CACREP IIG 2d) OR The role of advisor, coach, educational leader, manager in addressing needs of students/clients/employees and what approach you would take to address those needs.
5. The school counselor, advisor, coach, educational leader, manager role in advocacy and social justice related to topic selected (CACREP IIG 2f; CACREP SC E3)
6. Conclusion
7. References
