Developing Helping Skills: A Step-By-Step Approach to Competency

By Carol L Decker, Sheryn T Scott, Valerie Nash Chang, et al.

Book Overview

Chang, Decker, and Scott's multilayered teaching and learning system provides a creative blend of learning methods and clear presentation of topics to help students think like practitioners and apply foundational skills to real-world practice. Students first read about professional practice and the skills required to work effectively with clients. Next, they reflect on and write about the ideas in the text by completing homework exercises that follow each new concept. The book also includes a case, presented one section at a time, with questions that engage students in learning how to think like professionals. Role-playing in practice interviews promotes skill development, and simple evaluation tools allow for ongoing evaluation of competencies. Also available: the MindTap online learning experience, featuring an interactive e-book, videos demonstrating the skills covered in the textbook, quizzes, appealing tools and apps, and time-saving instructor resources and analytics.
