Description
A shared brain exercise is one in which a single student is the spokesperson for a group or team of students while the other members listen, share ideas, and give support. This presentation describes how a shared brain exercise can teach master's-level students to differentiate between counseling theories and develop proficiency in applying them. The session covers the design of the exercise, as well as lessons learned and ideas for implementing a similar structure in other courses. It includes a shared brain exercise, then brainstorming in small groups for ways to use the technique in their own classes.
