CURRENT ISSUES IN THE PORTFOLIO

This semester you will track current issues related to your chosen profession in counseling.
Throughout the semester, be on the lookout for articles, news reports both written and televised,
podcasts, websites, basically any source or form of media that focuses on your chosen field or
presents information about your chosen field.

● Your readings each week in Erford will help you determine areas about which you are
interested and may help to point you in directions for finding examples of current issues.
● You also may use current journal articles – no older than 2018 – for examples of current
research in the profession.
● Websites such as ACA and ASCA contain news briefs and various announcements that
you may wish to use. (I highly recommend these sites.)
● Newspaper articles or popular magazine articles may contain information about your
chosen specialty.

1. Select 7 resources on your current issues.

- You may choose electronic or print resources carefully and make your portfolio fit your initial
interest areas regarding current matters in your profession.

- You may choose technology in counseling. For example, the issue may be about digital
presence or virtual school counseling or distance clinical counseling.

- You may choose advocacy on behalf of the counseling profession. For example, the issue may
be about a barrier for the clients or students you wish to help in your future profession or about
how counselors reach marginalized individuals or groups.

2. Set up your portfolio using APA style with a title page and then a bolded heading for each of
the 7 current resources.

- After each heading, include a paragraph that tells why you chose this resource.

● After the paragraph, provide the link to the original electronic resource you used to learn
about each current issue. Alternatively, you may include full copies of the articles if an
electronic link is not available.

PORTFOLIO CHECKLIST:

● Current Issues: Select a minimum of 7 current professional resources.


● Portfolio Format: Set up 7th ed. APA style with title page, bolded headings, paragraph
provided for each, followed by the original resource link or hard copy.
● References: There should be a minimum of 7 resources provided. Resources no more
than 4 years old.
