Train and equip competent counselors faster and more effectively using active learning structures in a “Flipped Classroom.” Future counselors access IBCD video content outside of class and come together to experience active learning in the classroom community. There they’ll discuss course content with classmates, role play, counsel themselves, and practice counseling each other as they build their counseling toolbox and grow in confidence to counsel others.
 Join us in this fun, interactive workshop and experience the power and joy of active learning!
