Teaching
Project
As part of the Teaching Scholars
Program, Marty is hoping to improve his skills in experiential
learning in the classroom. In particular, he is looking at
increasing experiential learning in two courses, Counseling the
Culturally Different, and the second in this series, Advanced
Multicultural Counseling. Since both courses are not
required for the M.Ed., the sequencing of objectives is crucial in
these courses and needs to be addressed.
