Center for Children and Families Summer Treatment Program 2014 Summer Lead Counselor Internship Positions
Center for Children and Families Summer Treatment Program 2014 Summer Lead Counselor Internship Positions
The
Center for Children and Families (CCF) at Florida International
University announces internship positions for Summer Treatment Program
counselors. Counselors will work in one of three related
programs, for children in preschool or entering Kindergarten
(STP-PreK), children ages 6-12 in elementary school (STP-E), or
adolescents in middle and high school (STP-A). Counselors will work with
children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),
Conduct Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, learning problems, or
other behavior problems. The program provides treatment tailored to
children's individual behavioral and learning difficulties. The STP is
directed by William E. Pelham, Jr., Ph.D., who
is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at Florida
International University (FIU) and the Director of the CCF.
Counselors will be needed from June 2, 2014 through August 15, 2014. Lead Counselor hours of employment are from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and on three Saturdays (June 7, June
14, and August 9).
In addition, Lead Counselors will participate in a parent training
group that meets one evening weekly until 8:30 PM. Many Lead Counselors
put in additional hours on other evenings and on weekends finishing
tasks and attending meetings.
Lead Counselors are paid a salary of $6,000. In addition, practicum
credits for current students can often be arranged on an individual
basis through the student's own program.
During
the program, children and counselors are assigned to groups that remain
constant for the duration of the program. Each group consists of four or
five counselors and 10 to 15 children or
adolescents of similar age. Counselors implement an extensive behavior
modification treatment program during age-appropriate activities. In
addition, children and adolescents participate in academic classroom
activities that are staffed by teachers and classroom
aides. The program includes feedback and associated consequences for
positive and negative behaviors, daily and weekly rewards for
appropriate behavior, social praise and attention, appropriate commands,
and age-appropriate removal from positive reinforcement.
In
addition to participating in daily activities and implementing the
treatment program, Lead Counselors have primary responsibility for
supervising the counselors in their groups with their assigned
duties. This includes reviewing plans for activities such as sports
skill drills for appropriateness, reviewing daily recording and tracking
forms for accuracy, and observing group counselors during daily
activities to ensure that all group members are implementing
the treatment components with fidelity. Lead Counselors will also
review daily treatment records to determine individual areas of
impairment and to determine target behaviors and any need for
individualized programming for children or adolescents who do not
respond to the standard treatment components. Finally, Lead Counselors
will be responsible for daily communication with parents as well as
assisting in weekly parent-training sessions. Lead Counselors will work
under the supervision of Ph.D. level clinicians
and experienced STP staff members and will receive regular feedback
about their performance.
Detailed descriptions for each program follow.
Counselors
in the STP-PreK (children ages 4-6) deliver the treatment components
within both classroom and recreational contexts. Lead Counselors will
assist in the following each day: (1) leading
the self-regulation, emotional awareness, and social skills training
curriculum; (2) leading an academic center (i.e., English/Language Arts
(ELA), Math, Science, Writing); (3) leading a sport (i.e., Soccer,
Kickball, Teeball); (4) delivery of treatment components
during large group instruction periods; (5) supervising adolescents in
the STP-A program during their job-training periods in the classroom;
(6) organizing and supervising counselor behavior tracking and activity
preparation; and (7) assist in the delivery
of an evidence-based reading intervention program. Lead Counselors will
also be responsible for preparing End-of-Treatment Summary Reports.
Required qualifications for Lead Counselors are as follows: A Bachelor’s
or higher in Psychology/Mental Health, Behavior
Analysis, or related field. Candidates are required to have research,
clinical, leadership, or field experience working/volunteering with
young children, tutoring, coaching sports, or leading extracurricular
activities (e.g., dance, music, art). Sports or
teaching experience is not a requirement.
Lead
Counselors in the STP-E deliver the treatment components during three
daily sports-based recreational periods in which children practice and
play soccer, teeball/softball, and basketball.
Counselors also carry out daily social skills training sessions,
participate in an art classroom led by an art teacher, and at some sites
participate in daily swimming activities. These activities take place
outdoors and counselors will be physically active
throughout the day. Counselors also prepare and lead weekly Fun Friday
activities (e.g., movies, water activities, carnivals, parties) that
serve as reinforcers to children who behaved appropriately during the
week. During the recreational activities, counselors
will act as coaches and referees of the games and are required to be
familiar with the rules and fundamentals of each sport. Counselors in
each group will be named as Sport Leaders for each sport and will plan
and implement skill drills to address children’s
specific deficits and to improve children’s skills in each sport. Lead
counselors will be expected to review Sport Leaders’ plans for sports
instruction and to provide feedback to the counselors regarding their
implementation of the sports activities. Some
Lead Counselors with the required experience and skills may also
function as Sport Leaders.
Lead
Counselors in the STP-A will participate and supervise counselors in the
following each day: (1) leading a 50-minute elective period (e.g., art,
dance, videography, journalism, Frisbee golf)
designed to teach basic skills in available extra-curricular activities
during the school year, (2) orchestrating a junior-achievement style
student government meeting focused on fundraising and service projects;
(3) delivering individual organization skills
training interventions to adolescents; (4) implementing a behavioral
homework intervention to students during a daily study hall, (5)
supervising adolescents for 1 to 3 hours daily in a job-training program
(e.g., managing sports equipment, helping with younger
children, recording sports statistics, facilities management, keeping
bulletin boards up to date), and (6) participating in daily sports
skills (middle school only) and game (all adolescents) periods in
age-appropriate sports such as soccer, softball, flag
football, Ultimate Frisbee, basketball, or volleyball. Counselors in
the STP-A will model appropriate skills and will be expected to know or
learn the fundamentals of each sport played in the STP-A. They will not
be required to teach sports as much as counselors
in the STP-E, but will need to exhibit appropriate skill and
enthusiasm.
Prior to
the start of the program, Lead Counselors will be required to read the
treatment manual and to be extensively familiar with behavior
modification program and rules and procedures for daily
activities, including the rules and fundamentals for sports played in
the program. Lead Counselors will need to spend a significant amount of
time preparing prior to the training session. Lead counselors will take
part in a two-week training session. During
the first four days of the training session, Lead Counselors will take
part in preliminary training designed to introduce the treatment
components and prepare them for the responsibilities of supervising
their group counselors, both during the training session
and the treatment program. During the remainder of the training period,
Lead Counselors will participate with their groups and will be expected
to take a leadership role in supervising and training their groups. The
training session will include lectures,
slide and video presentations, testing, and daily active role-plays
during which staff members will act as counselors and children during
activities such as sports.
Following
the program, during the last week of employment, Lead Counselors will
write treatment summaries for each child in their groups. They will also
complete staff evaluations for the counselors
they supervise during the summer.
Desired
qualifications for Lead Counselors include graduate-level study in
clinical psychology, mental health counseling, social work,
education/special education, or related field of study, or
extensive experience in related programs. Importantly, participation in
the STP requires staff members to ensure the safety, well-being and
treatment of children and adolescents with mental health, learning,
attention and behavior problems. Counselors must
be able to visually scan the environment, effectively attend to and
hear verbal exchanges between children, provide neutral, corrective
feedback on children’s misbehavior (which can include aggression),
provide a consistent, warm, positive climate for children,
and actively engage in sports and physical activity. Lead counselors
must be able to meet the above requirements of the position.
The
Summer Treatment Program has been conducted at Florida State University
from 1980 to 1986; at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic from 1987
to 1996; at the University at Buffalo from 1997-2009;
and at Florida International University from 2010-present. The STP was
named as a Model Program for Service Delivery for Child and Family
Mental Health by the Section on Clinical Child Psychology and Division
of Child, Youth, and Family Services of the American
Psychological Association. The STP has also been used in clinical
trials conducted under the auspices of the National Institute of Mental
Health, has been named a Model Program in Child and Family Mental Health
by the American Psychological Association and
SAMHSA, and has been named a program of the year by CHADD, the national
parent advocacy group for children with ADHD. The STP is listed in
SAMHSA's
National Registry of Evidence-based Programs
and Practices.
Lead
Counselors who have worked in the summer treatment program have found it
a valuable opportunity to gain intensive experience and training in
working with children and adolescents who have
behavior problems, as well as an excellent chance to obtain supervisory
and research experience and letters of recommendation to help them in
their future careers. They have uniformly reported the experience to be
the most demanding but also the most rewarding
clinical experience of their careers. Several positions will be
available, and applications will be competitive.
All
finalists must clear a Criminal Background Check initiated by the
Division of Human Resources at FIU before an offer of employment will be
made. All finalists must be digitally fingerprinted
and cleared by the FIU Division of Human Resource before beginning
assignment.
Employees
placed on Temporary Appointments are not eligible to participate in
employee benefit programs (i.e., paid leave, health insurances, etc.)
but are enrolled in the FICA Alternative plan.
