High Standards

Rehabilitation counselor educators are obligated to act in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors. This obligation is particularly strong for rehabilitation counselor educators, not only because of the importance of protecting the rights of students and the clients those students may serve, but also because of the importance of modeling high standards of ethical behavior. Because the Code historically has been focused on the counselor-client relationship, educators may have viewed it as having only limited relevance in their own work. The 2002 . revised Code includes several clarifications and provides specific guidance to rehabilitation counselor educators that should assist them in their efforts to practice ethically. This article discusses the challenges that rehabilitation counselor educators routinely confront and highlights several of the changes to the Code of Professional Ethics that have direct relevance to rehabilitation education. Implications for implementation of the code within academia are included.

Goals And Objectives

The purpose of this study was to report initial findings from a subsample of a survey designed to assess Rehabilitation Counselor Education (RCE) programs through the perceptions of graduates. This research is one component of an effort by the Council On Rehabilitation Education to establish an accreditation procedure for master's level RCE programs. The researchers used a 107-item questionnaire to elicit responses in four areas: graduate demographic data, RCE program goals and objectives, components of graduates' involvement as students in the program, and functions of rehabilitation counselors. The analyses were based upon a randomly selected sub-sample of 534 out of 905 total graduate respondents. The preliminary findings indicated that the graduates, as a whole, had certain characteristics in common. Of those graduates surveyed, 830/0 were employed full-time, and of these, 87.60/0 were holding jobs in rehabilitationrelated work. In addition, while there tended to be general agreement on the important ingredients of rehabilitation counselor training, there was considerable variation as to the programs' patterns and degrees of educational effectiveness. Furthermore, the graduates' responses suggested practical differences among RCE programs in how well students were prepared to perform selected functions. Nevertheless, the preliminary findings imply that while master's level RCE programs do vary in educational mission and effectiveness, the programs generally prepared their students adequately for positions as rehabilitation counselors.

Real Life Situation

The reality model in rehabilitation counselor education is often implemented in a setting, such as a hospital, a rehabilitation facility, or an agency, where performance of the counselor is basic to his professional survival in the setting. It is not a role-playing situation; it is a real life situation where the client's future is dependent on the reality helpfulness of the counselor. These authors suggest that rehabilitation counselor educators thoroughly scrutinize certain experiential approaches and that they not discard the salient variables of the reality model and replace them with experiential placeboes. The mistakes in early educational designs, which produced “activity” but failed to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic, should not be repeated.
