An Innovative Methodology for Assessing Student Learning Outcome Achievement

Abstract

University-associated training facilities for Marriage and Family Therapy/Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling (MFT/MFCC) programs serve several purposes; however, of paramount importance is meeting the academic needs of counselor trainees. Student learning outcomes for counselor trainees aim to address social justice issues, such as primary language and financial impoverishment of clients. This article presents a pilot study that examined an innovative methodology for assessing student learning outcomes at an MFT/MFCC program’s training clinic.
