Overview
The purpose of the
Benchmark Professional Identity and
Credential Paper Assignment is to:
·
Articulate your understanding of the current
trends in professional counselor identity and identifying your own professional
development plan.
·
Teach you how to access and use the Liberty
University Online Library.
·
Correctly identify scholarly sources
appropriate for use in professional papers.
Instructions
Step 1: Read the assigned required readings to
date, and search the LU Library and/or
professional counseling association websites (e.g., ACA and its divisions; your
state’s professional counseling association) and review at least the course
textbook and 2 articles that support your work in this paper.
Step 2: Write a 5-7 page paper on the information
reviewed. Your paper must be in current APA format using professional
guidelines (including running head, a title page, abstract, headings, and a reference
page). The abstract must provide a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents
of the paper in 150–250 words. Note: the title page, abstract, and reference
page do not contribute toward the page requirement.
Divide your paper
into the following sections:
· Summary –
Synthesize and integrate the main points of the textbook readings and articles in 2 ½ -3
pages, using the headings listed below.
o
The
Importance of Professional Identity
o
The
Necessary Components for Professional Identity (within this section, also address
ethical spiritual/religious integration.)
o
The
Challenges to Professional Identity
· Professional Identity
Development Plan– In ½-1 page, discuss the following:
o
What
are your motivators to become a professional counselor?
o
What
will you do to establish your identity as a counselor?
o
Identify
potential challenges that may present barriers to your success (academically,
personally, or professionally) and name at least two strategies for how you
will manage those barriers.
· State Credential
Plan – Copy and paste the Benchmark
Professional Identity and Credential Paper Chart Template into your paper
(be sure to include a page break) after the last section. Complete the plan
according to your state’s counselor requirements as stated on the state’s board
of counseling website.
Step 3: Submit your paper in the Benchmark Professional Identity and
Credential Paper Assignment – Turnitin link.
Step 4: Wait until the link indicates that Turnitin
has analyzed your paper and prepared a report. See resources in Canvas to
support your understanding of using Turnitin.
Step 5: Open the Turnitin report. Evaluate the
report. You will notice that Turnitin often matches on headings, titles, and
references. If you see matches on entire sentences or paragraphs that are not
enclosed in direct quotation marks, then you have unintentionally plagiarized.
You will need to go back and re-write those sections in your own words.
Step 6: Return to your original paper and revise
as needed.
Step 7: Save your paper as a Microsoft Word
document using your name and assignment title (e.g., Doe_J_assignment_1).
Step 8: Submit the final paper using the Benchmark Professional Identity and
Credential Paper link.
Note: Your
assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. It
is understood that the Credential Chart table may raise the percentage since
much of this information is taken from the online source. Make sure that you have included the board
website in the relevant section of the table and provided the information in
your own words as much as possible.
