A Multicultural Counseling course (MCC) brings unique challenges and rewards to both instructors and students. Given its unique challenges, the "process" of teaching a MCC is as important as, or even more important than, the "content." Drawing from extant literature and the authors' experiences, this paper discusses such topics as what to teach, how to teach, classroom dynamics, instructors' issues, and students' issues to provide a concise, practical, and comprehensive framework for teaching such difficult but essential courses.
Descriptors: Cultural Pluralism, Group Dynamics, Counselor Training, Teaching Methods, Course Content, Teacher Attitudes, Student Attitudes, Guidelines, Cultural Awareness, Counseling Techniques
