Miami faculty member co-authors study on innovative teaching strategies for future school counselors
Jenna Alvarez, associate clinical professor in ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ’s Department of Educational Psychology, collaborated with researchers from Clemson University, Wright State University, and the University of Cincinnati to explore a novel teaching strategy for school counselor trainees. Published in Teaching Practice Briefs, their study examines how one-on-one interviews with school administrators enhance school counselor trainees’ professional identity, leadership, and advocacy skills. This approach provides practical insights, bridging gaps between theoretical learning and real-world application, and aligns with Miami’s mission to prepare impactful, purposeful leaders.
