The program helps school counselors understand their ownworldview, including personal spiritual beliefs, so they have awareness of personal biases thatmight impede professional advocacy efforts.Field Experience Goals and ObjectivesPracticum and internships allow students to experience on the job counseling, overcome ethicalissues, respond appropriately to diversity, and write appropriate school counseling plans that assistall students. Because we want our students to gain actual experience in the real-world setting, weask that students in practicum and internship be allowed to work with students in the classroom,on personal/social issues, and on career development initiatives. Because students need realisticactivities, we also want students to participate in meetings and system support activities asappropriate. This means consistent onsite supervision is both required and imperative. Studentsare asked to follow ethical guidelines (ASCA), laws, as well as school policies and standards.The guidelines in this manual apply to all Belmont University students enrolled in the M.A.program in the School Counseling track at Belmont University.Section 1: Preparing for Field Experience CoursesBe sure you complete all of the following steps: Read this Field Experience Manual completely.Discuss possible school sites/site supervisors with the Clinical Director, Dr. MaryMayorga.Prior to enrolling in the field experience and interviewing at a school site, student mustparticipate in a “mock site interview.”Contact potential and approved schools to schedule an appointment for an interview.Review “Section 4: Finding a School Site” in this manual to prepare for your interview.Once a school offers you a field experience position and you have a site supervisor, contactthe Clinical Director, Dr. Mayorga, to notify her of the school and site supervisor’s name.Acquire professional liability insurance.

The Mental Health Counseling faculty may be called upon to help students locate a school and/orsite supervisor. This process is a dual responsibility between program instructors and the student.Faculty provide a list of suggested schools to students who are responsible for contacting schools,interviewing for field experience volunteer or paid positions, and notifying the ClinicalCoordinator of progress. It is the students’ responsibility to begin this process upon programacceptance and before the start of field experience courses. Procrastination in searching for a sitewill affect success and completion of the pre-practicum and practicum/internship courses. Studentsare responsible for contacting the Clinical Coordinator if issues arise during the process.Preparing for an InterviewAfter making the appointment for a field experience interview, prepare to answer questions yourpotential school/supervisor may ask. Following are a few tips to help in this process. Be sure the school and potential site supervisor meets CACREP standard requirementsmentioned in section 3.Study the forms/guidelines found in this handbook so you can easily converse about themwith a prospective site supervisor. Be prepared to discuss live supervision and thepossibility of taping course assignments.Prepare a professional resume to share with your site supervisor.Dress as you would for a job interview and arrive a few minutes before the interview isscheduled to begin, and act as you would for a professional job interview.Practice discussing your background, experience, and counseling interests and be ready toask questions about the school site.Inquire about training prior to placement and ensure you can comply before committing.Wait a week before inquiring whether you received the field experience placement.Section 5: Practices throughout Field ExperienceAny issues that arise before, during, or after a counseling session/activity occurs, should beimmediately reported to both your site supervisor and your university instructor (faculty). Thefaculty and site supervisor work together as a team to assist students in handling crises.Discuss student issues or cases with your site supervisor during minimum 1-hour weekly sessionsor as asked during class. At no time should a student discuss a student, parent, or case with anyoneother than your clinical supervisors. Guidelines are shared for ensuring confidentiality of clientsduring university class sessions.Section 6: Information for Site SupervisorsThe following material intends to assist site supervisors in understanding the school counselingroles and responsibilities of Belmont University students, university supervisors, and clinical sitesupervisors.Field Experience RequirementsStudents in the Belmont University M.A. in Mental Health Counseling Program-Clinical MentalHealth Counseling track are required to complete a pre-practicum, practicum and 2 internshipcourses.

an additional 600 hours (240 direct hours and 360 indirect hours-accrued over two internshipsemesters) of supervised counseling and counseling related activities (from a licensed counselor,social worker, psychologist, marriage and family therapist or clinical pastoral therapist dependingon the area of specialty that student is pursuing) in internships. All hours in practicum (100) andinternship (300) are accrued ONLY during the semester. Extra hours accrued within a semesterare not allowed to be transferred to the next semester, therefore set your schedule at your site sothat you can accrue your expected hours and not go over. Under certain circumstances, (I.e.

Sitesupervisors must agree to sign off on hours accrued in-between semesters. Students are allowedto accrue no more than 100 hours (internship) during the in-between semester time (50direct; 50 indirect) and those hours are allowed to be forwarded to the next internship semester.Please make sure that your sites are able to provide the necessary hours that are required duringthe practicum and internships.All students must have their site/supervisor approved by Dr. Bonner, Clinical Coordinator,prior to placement.Students take practicum at the beginning of their second year of course work, typically inthe fall, followed by internship 1 and internship 2 in the subsequent semesters.
