Preliminary findings of the Counseling Training Environment Scale (CTES), a newly developed instrument designed to assess the training environment of counselor education programs through an ecological approach will be presented. Grounded in Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, the CTES assess the training environments of counselor education programs through the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem. Participants will learn ways that counselor education programs can enhance their training environment for both students and faculty alike.
