Internship Report
Riyandhiani Kartika - 12 MM-B School
Counseling Internship Program Jan.
8 - April 18, 2020
Company information
Rogers Middle School was founded in 1924 to educate the children
of Dallas. The school’s mission statement
is to expand the educational knowledge of children while also fostering their
creative minds. Rogers Middle
School plays a vital role in the community with after-school programs and
weekend tutoring events. I chose to
complete my internship with this school because I enjoy the work they do with inner-city children through outreach efforts
and after-school educational programs.
Internship description
My role at Rogers Middle School was to evaluate the
counseling program and work with middle schoolers.
I worked directly with the school counselor in assessing learning
difficulties, assisting teachers with
students’ behavioral problems and meeting with
at-risk middle schoolers.
Overview of internship experience
During my internship experience with Rogers Middle School, I was
able to develop my active listening,
planning and treatment plan skills. I particularly found direct interactions
with these middle school children to be useful in improving my counseling skills.
Ongoing consideration
While I had many useful experiences at Rogers Middle School, I
feel that I still need to develop my confidence
levels with testing. I would have enjoyed more time facilitating and
evaluating psychological tests. In
conclusion, my experience with Rogers Middle School was crucial in my development as a school counselor.
I will take the lessons and skills
I learned and apply
them to my next position.
