ACES Online

As CES and the profession of counseling advance and adapt to an ever-enriching understanding of what it means to heal, it is essential that CES embrace plurality in the classroom through intentional implementation of diverse ways of teaching and learning with intent to prepare students to think critically, practice reflexively, and decenter hegemonic assumptions in their developing approach to counseling. In support of this praxis, this webinar will emphasize decolonization and indigenous andragogy practices as frameworks to inform CES curriculum and training. Attendees will evaluate decolonization from the departure point of “giving land back” (Tuck & Yang, 2012), examine and critique applications of decolonial praxis in CES, and explore key principles and methods of indigenous andragogy as a justice framework or education.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Define and explain decolonization as a framework for CES andragogy.
2. Review current themes and recommendations in the CES literature base.
3. Summarize key principles and methods of indigenous andragogy.
4. Examine methods for implementing indigenous andragogy in CES curriculum.
