Sumario:Counselor education programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs are charged with the important task of providing pre-service school counselors with didactic information and experiential opportunities that prepare students for the realities of group work in the school setting. It is important for programs to consider ways in which students develop self-efficacy around their group leadership skills. The accomplishment of this task can be a challenge given time constraints and potentially limited opportunities to provide experience, observation, and supervision of group leadership during coursework training. This article attempts to provide creative solutions to these challenges.
