Question Description

****Video for The Evolution of a Group: https://1660912-2.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/Evo...

Imagine you are presenting to your state school counseling association at a conference. The majority of the attendees graduated prior to CACREP accreditation standards requiring training on group counseling. The audience is eager to learn about the basic tenants of group counseling and how they might apply it to their school settings. You are the expert in the room and are going to deliver a presentation that will inform the attendees and empower them to leave the room with the necessary knowledge to create a group proposal at their school sites. As a frame of reference, imagine everyone at the conference has watched The Evolution of a Group video by Dr. Gerald Corey and Marianne S. Corey. Address each of the sections in this video in your presentation, and use the video as your frame of reference. You may use any of your foundational work from the course, including discussions, articles, resources, and assignments, for your final product. Each attendee in the conference will take home a copy of your document. You can embellish the product as much as you want; but remember, you must meet the criteria set forth in the scoring guide. This assignment may be written as a traditional paper, a slideshow presentation, or some combination, as long as you convey that you understand the core concepts and can share that information with the imaginary attendees at your presentation. For this assignment, you will create a single document that addresses each of the following points:

  • Consider the theoretical foundation used for the group counseling sessions in the video. Describe what they did that demonstrated their use of that theory. (One page.)
  • Analyze the dynamics of the group and how they evolved over the course of the group. Include examples from the sessions, including initial, transition, working, and final stages. (1–4 pages.)
  • Describe the therapeutic factors Dr. Corey and Corey used, or could have used, in The Evolution of a Group video, and how the factors contributed to group effectiveness. You can describe as many as you would like. However, you should describe at least five factors to demonstrate your understanding of how those factors may affect the group. Examples include confrontation or universality. (2–5 pages.)
  • Describe the characteristics and functions Dr. Corey and Corey used, or could have used, to demonstrate effective group leadership skills. You can describe as many as you would like. However, you should describe at least five skills to demonstrate your understanding of how those skills may affect the group. Examples include empathizing and terminating. (2–5 pages.)
  • Describe the culturally relevant strategies Dr. Corey and Corey used while designing and facilitating the group. (One page.)
  • Describe a group counseling technique that Dr. Corey and Corey used to promote positive social/emotional outcomes for the group members. How did the leaders connect what was happening in the group to how they could take that learning to the outside world? Or, if you did not see this skill, what could you have done as the group leader to make this a more overt connection? Remember that the skill to transfer the learning from inside the group to the group member's own world is critical for effective group leaders. (One page.)
