The purpose of this article is to contribute to counselor education pedagogy by highlighting the value of project based learning in counselor training programs. This paper describes a project based learning module enacted within an advanced group class of doctoral counselor education students that required students to design and implement an empirically grounded group intervention. CACREP standards for doctoral students (2009) and the Association for Specialists in Group Work: Best Practices Document (2007) are used as a frame of reference to demonstrate the advantages of project work for promoting broad based learning outcomes in counselor training environments.
