Setting up the format for an APA style paper
· Begin by setting your cursor at the first, beginning space of the first page of your paper and creating all of your margins at 1”. You do this by going to File>Page Set Up>Margin Tab and set at 1 inch for all 4 sides, Top, Bottom, Right, and Left.
· To set spacing to true Double: First, highlight the entire document text, or choose Select All. Then go to Format>Paragraph>Indents and Spacing Tab and in the box that says Line Spacing: select Double from the pull down menu. Make sure the ‘before’ and ‘after’ boxes are set at 0 pt, and not at Auto. Double Space throughout the document and see rules in APA Publication Manual, 6th Edition. APA is about saving space… no gaps or quadruple spacing, so the document is consistent and easy to read.
· The font is Times New Roman, 12 pt. Use the same size and typeface throughout, including the paging and Running heads.

SCHOOL COUNSELING SESSION OF A 10TH GRADE STUDENT WHO GRADES DROPPED BECAUSE OF PARENTS DIVORCE
Start your introduction here. APA sixth edition does not use a heading title for the introduction because its position in the paper identifies it as the introduction. Open your paper with a foreword to introduce your case. Provide a general description of your selected case, a legend for the speakers (such as S – student, M – mother, T – teacher) and any other presenting information that provides helpful context. Be sure to describe the client and conceptualize the presenting problem in language that indicates your understanding of the student and the presenting issues. Base your conceptualization on theory.
The introduction should be anywhere from one to three paragraphs. All paragraphs of your paper should be double-spaced. The margins in this template have been set to one inch on all sides, and the running head and automatic page numbering has been set up for your convenience. Remember to indent paragraphs in each section.
Do not consider this template to be the final word on writing your paper or APA style and formatting. Be sure to explore and consult the Capella Graduate Online Writing Center – APA Style and Formatting page and the Capella Graduate Online Writing Center for detailed information.
Section 2 – Transcription and Analysis
Use the transcription form included on this page for transcription. Suggested length: (5-7 pages). The four column transcription form is described on the next page within the columns.
| Verbatim Transcription | Clinical Skills and Competencies | Analysis of Clinical Thinking | Evaluation of Counselor’s Response |
| Each row is for a different speaker’s turn. | |||
| Column 1 – Verbatim Transcription: Transcribe a 10-minute segment of your Unit 6 role-play verbatim—your words and the client’s words. You may also comment on silences, pauses, or relevant observations of body language. Use Student to identify the client’s words and behaviors, and use Counselor to identify the counselor’s words and behaviors. Do not use any names in the verbatim transcription.
|
Column 2 – Clinical Skills and Competencies (“What I did”): Identify clinical skills and competencies you utilized during the session. These will come from the range of skills described and discussed in the textbooks for this course.
|
Column 3 –
Analysis of Clinical Thinking column (“What I was thinking”): Analyze your reasoning for the exchange; provide a conceptualization based on a hypothesis that prompted either the client response or your response as the counselor. |
Column 4 – Evaluation of Counselor’s Response (“What I would do differently now”): Evaluate the effectiveness of the skill, competency, or statement utilized by you, the counselor. Note if you would change the content, delivery, or timing of your responses. Comment on what you could have said or done differently or on the value of what you did say or do. You may also provide analysis of your emotional responses or thoughts during the session.
|
| Example: Counselor: I can see that you are upset | Acknowledged nonverbal behavior and reflected feeling | Noticing the student’s affect is important to acknowledge my interest and concern. | Appropriate skill. Could have said, “It looks as though something is on your mind.” This would have given an opportunity for the student to share |
| Example: Student: Heck yeah! | |||

Above are a few reference examples. A complete set of guidelines on how to format your references can be found in your APA 6th edition manual on pages 193-224. The formatting style is unique to the type of source – please follow the formatting guidelines.
To set up the reference section, center the title, References 1” from top of paper.
Then, to set up hanging indents for the reference section, put your cursor on the first line where the first reference will begin and highlight the references. Select Format, then Paragraph, then select the menu that says Indents and Spacing, select the menu box that says Special and choose Hanging. Then set the box that says by at 0.5”. Keep the line spacing set at double, which gives double spacing both between each individual reference and within each reference
