“Redesigning a Multicultural Counseling Graduate Course: Strategies to Increase Multicultural Competence”

Jessica Fripp & Kim Coggins

Training in Counseling graduate programs emphasizes the importance of multicultural competence, yet many students feel ill-prepared when working with clients from diverse populations. Furthermore, instructors are often met with resistance related to course content. To navigate these concerns, workshop presenters will discuss barriers to teaching multicultural course content, introduce a revised concept to structuring the course material and recommend strategies for implementing effective teaching methods to increase student preparation.

Workshop Objectives

  1. Critically address the unique challenges of facilitating multicultural course material.
  2. Deliver the modified course content and structure for participants to utilize at their programs.
  3. Utilize strategies for integrating and implementing this course design in future Counselor Education graduate courses related to diversity and multicultural competence.
