Biography
Aaron H. Oberman, Ph.D., NCC is a Professor and Program Coordinator for the Counselor Education programs at The Citadel. He serves as the program coordinator for the division of counselor education. Jeannine R. Studer is a professor emerita from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

A Guide to Practicum and Internship for the School Counselor-in –Training (4th ed.) is a game changer for school counselors-in-training, site supervisors, and counselor educators. This guide delivers practical activities and insights to help school counselors-in-training successfully navigate the clinical experience, apply the ASCA National Model, and transition into the profession with a clear professional identity. It has given me a new perspective on practicum and internship supervision. I won’t teach another internship course without it.
