I am a graduate student under the direction of Dr. Brandee Appling in the Department of Counselor Education at The University of Georgia.  I invite you to participate in a research study entitled School Counselor Multicultural and Social Justice Competence.  The purpose of this study is to create an instrument that measures multicultural and social justice competence.  Additionally, this study seeks to explore the factors that contribute to Multicultural and Social Justice Competence.

You’re eligible to be in this study because you are a practicing school counselor (P-12). Your participation will involve completing an online survey that includes a demographic questionnaire; all responses will remain confidential.  The survey will take about 15-20 minutes.  The risks associated with this research are minimal.  Your participation will help the researcher understand the factors that contribute to Multicultural and Social Justice Competence and provide an instrument to help school counseling professionals assess their own competence.  Information from the study will contribute to the growing literature on Multicultural and Social Justice Competence.

 You can choose to be entered into a raffle for one of ten $15 gift Amazon electronic gift cards.  Participation in this research is not required to be entered in the drawing.  All gift cards will be sent electronically after the close of the survey.

If you would like additional information about this study, please feel free to send an e-mail to tclink@uga.edu.

Race and Culture in Counselor Education

• Are you 18 years of age or older?
• Do you work as a full-time or part-time counselor educator?

If you answered yes to both of these questions, you may be eligible to participate in a research study on race and culture in counselor education. Participants do not need to be a part of a specific racial or ethnic group.

The purpose of this study is to explore racial and cultural consciousness in counselor educators and how differences may inform their work with students in the classroom, advising, supervision, and scholarly activities. All participants will be asked to complete a one-time anonymous online survey that will take approximately between 15 – 45 minutes to complete. Some participants will be asked to complete an additional instrument.

Participants will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Visa gift card.  The study is being conducted through Liberty University: https://liberty.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b93s7i5J8I3ZmGF

Dr. Krystal Clemons, a faculty member in the School of Behavioral Sciences at Liberty University, is conducting this study.  Please contact klfreeman1@liberty.edu for more information.
