ABSTRACT

This chapter helps developing counselor educators understand how to attend to various learning styles and culture of their students. Students learn in many different ways, however, too often, educators fail to consider such information, presenting material using only one teaching strategy. When a mismatch exists between learning styles of students and the teaching strategy used by the teacher, students flounder. This chapter guides readers on how to choose teaching strategies to adequately meet the learning styles of their students and a review of themes common to the development of a professional identity as a counselor educator, including addressing and confronting the “imposter syndrome,” creating team-based teaching strategies, and developing and sustaining a positive learning environment.
