"If you are a doctoral student in counselor education, you most likely were assigned this book in your pedagogy and teaching course. If you are a counselor educator, you most likely purchased this book to improve your knowledge, skills, and beliefs toward teaching and learning in counselor education. Regardless of your level of training and expertise, we know that teaching is a fundamental role and responsibility of current and prospective counselor educators. Quality teaching has potential to help students increase performance, learning, sense of belonging, and self-efficacy. Effective teaching also has potential to help students develop skills that will help them become lifelong learners. As such, this book was planned and written with the intent of summarizing research-based teaching and learning strategies and providing readers with exercises and activities to apply what they learn. Also, this book is designed to be part of a course on teaching and pedagogy with recommendations for class and learning activities, homework exercises, and retrieval practice activities. All ideas in the book are based on research-based literature from counselor education and postsecondary education. In this book, I try to address two primary audiences: doctoral students in counselor education and counselor educators. If you are an instructor of a teaching pedagogy course in a doctoral program in counselor education, you will find this textbook helpful to align course content and activities to CACREP 2016 standards for doctoral students in counselor education. The primary audience for this textbook is doctoral students in counselor education who are enrolled in a teaching and pedagogy course. However, this book is also useful for counselor educators who want a resource to improve knowledge, skills, and beliefs toward teaching and learning. A secondary audience are program administrators and department chairs in clinical mental health counselling programs. If you a department chair, you can use strategies in this book to design courses with research-based teaching and learning strategies and design professional development activities to help faculty improve their teaching practices. To help meet demands and needs of various audiences, I integrated activities and exercises into each chapter that can be used as part of a pedagogy course for doctoral students in counselor education or counselor educators who engage in self-learning and professional development"--
