Select one of the research findings below and write a mini essay on your thoughts of why the research results revealed this data. (Be mindful that your Turnitin should be near 0). I will not read or grade any essay that is over 30%. This is about your thoughts based on what you think the research is revealing about development. Use the mini essay instructions under files in Canvas. It may be a good idea to review your last essay to ensure you don’t make the same mistakes. I will grade more rigorously on this essay.

2. Theories Paper
A goal of this course is for you to become familiar enough with at least three counseling theories to be able to utilize them in your work with clients beginning with EDC 668 Counseling Pre Practicum and EDC 669 Practicum. Current best practice requires you to learn and utilize at least two evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational-Emotive Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (including Mindfulness), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
For this paper, choose three counseling theories (at least two of which are evidence-based) and describe the following about each:
1. Key figures and major focus
2. Philosophy and basic assumptions about what people need in order to change
3. Key concepts
4. Therapeutic goals
5. Therapeutic relationship
6. Techniques and procedures
7. Applications (For what kind of client is this theory appropriate?)
8. Limitations
For each theory, please discuss the ways in which the theory coincides or challenges your own personal view of human nature and what is necessary to facilitate change.
APA style. 8-12 pages. Include at least five additional scholarly/peer-reviewed references. Refrain from the use of first person language in academic/graduate level writing.

After you complete your two observations and two interviews, you must reflect upon and write about what you have seen. You must relate it to what you are reading and learning about in this class. You will need cite your sources using APA style and include a reference list. You must include at least one citation from the course readings, and you must cite any of the documents or internet sources you used in your research. You may also cite additional texts. Citing appropriate texts demonstrates your understanding of the relationship between theory and practice (or how what you read about relates to what goes on in reality). In your 4-7-page paper, you should compare and contrast the salient aspects of what you observed in each school. Depending on the focus of your paper, this may include a description of the school buildings, the classrooms, what was used to decorate the school walls (school banners and emblems, slogans and mottos, multicultural images, student art, professional artwork), the demeanor of the students, student-teacher rapport, parent-teacher rapport, the kinds of books in the libraries, the teaching materials and methods used, special services or accommodations provided, etc. Did anything surprise you? Did anything impress you? Did anything challenge your conception of what goes on in schools? How did the people you interviewed add to your understanding of the schools pedagogy, practices, policies, or protocols? Were they able to help you interpret the things you observed? Were they open and willing to discuss the topics you mentioned? In summary, you should discuss how your observations and interviews will inform your future work as an educator and a member of a school community
