Field study materials included here fall in the context of a graduate educational psychology course delivered to school counselors in training during a month long summer course. The field study component which falls near the end of the calendar document, outlines a group neighborhood study graduate students must complete as a culminating activity. This group project must include: effects on neighborhoods of natural and man-made elements, community assets and evidence of a neighborhood’s individual & collective visions, values and aspirations. Six hours community service must also be completed by each group member.
