Why am I here?

Through polling activities and self-inquiry exercises, students are immediately able to interact with the material in new and interesting ways.
What am I learning? Students complete the chapter reading and then take a brief multiple-choice quiz that allows them to gauge their understanding of the material they have read.
How do I practice what I’ve learned? Each chapter includes activities designed to allow students to practice and apply what they are learning:
Video Activities present students with professional interviews, simulated sessions, and more as they progress through the course. Students are prompted to answer embedded questions as they watch each video to help them connect the video to what they are learning in the text and classroom.
Exercises ask students a series of short-answer questions aimed at getting them to think critically about key concepts discussed within each chapter.
Case studies give students the opportunity to practice and develop the concepts discussed within each chapter.
The video-based simulation activity, Helper Studio, puts students directly in the role of helping professional. Students respond to clients by recording video responses that demonstrate important skills and confidence necessary for success in the profession.
What does this mean to me? Reflection activities ask students to apply the chapter concepts directly to their lives, coursework, current cases, and future careers in the helping professions.

FOR STUDENTS
Developing Helping Skills: A Step-by-Step Approach to Competency
ISBN: 9781305943261
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.
