Students in the Lindenwood University School Counseling Program must complete two semesters of School Counseling Field Placement. 在实习期间, 学生将在学校环境中参与学校咨询活动. They must complete their field placement hours under the supervision of a certified school counselor (must be certified minimally at the Master’s level in School Counseling with at least three years school counseling experience) and a Lindenwood University faculty member in a group supervision class (IPC 62100, 62400). Field Placement 1 requires a minimum of 150 clock hours (350 in Illinois) and must include a minimum of 60 hours (140 in Illinois) engaged in the provision of direct service to school counseling clients. Field Placement 2 requires a minimum of 300 clock hours (350 in Illinois) and must include a minimum of 120 hours (140 in Illinois) engaged in the provision of direct service to school counseling clients.
The Field Placement experiences have been designed to meet the requirements for Missouri School Counselor certification. The combination of Field Placement 1 and Field Placement 2 determines eligibility for Missouri certification as a School Counselor in grades K-12.
Field Placement 1 由200个时钟小时组成. The purpose of the first field experience is to provide students with knowledge of various school counseling work environments. It provides students the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom and through the practice of School Counseling.
Field Placement 2 由200个时钟小时组成，其中100个必须处于不同的等级水平. The purpose of the second field experience is to allow the process of changing roles from school counselor candidate to a professional school counselor to occur. 这种复杂的转变在一段时间内以小的增量进行. 候选人被提供了一个密集的接触到学校的咨询设置.
参加FP1的考生, FP2, or in both semesters, 必须在另一年级建筑中累积100小时. For example, 考生可选择一所小学或中学建筑, 一座初中和高中的大楼, 或者是小学和中学的建筑. Candidates who are pursuing Missouri Licensure requirements in addition to school counseling certification, must complete 300 hours each semester for a total of 600 hours to be eligible for the PLPC and LPC.
Should a student be unable to complete the required hours of Field Placement within the semester, 他或她可能会收到一个不完整的分数. If the student receiving an Incomplete is in Field Placement 1 and has completed more than half the required hours of Field Placement 1, 学生应于下学期入读实习二. Any student unable to complete the required hours of Field Placement 2 must enroll in a section of Field Placement Extension the following term. Enrolling in the Field Placement Extension course will allow students to continue to receive supervision from Lindenwood University faculty by attending the Field Placement class as they complete their Field Placement hours.
