This book is a comprehensive introduction to the profession for school
counselors in training, providing special focus on the topics most
relevant to the school counselor's role, and offers specific strategies
for practical application and implementation.
In addition to the thorough coverage of the fourth edition of the ASCA
National Model, readers will find thoughtful discussions of the effects
of trends and legislation, including the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA), multitiered systems of support (MTSS), and school-wide positive
behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS). The text also provides
readers with understanding of how school counselors assume a counseling
orientation within the specific context of an educational setting. Each
chapter is application-oriented, with an equal emphasis both on research
and on using data to design and improve school counselors' functioning
in school systems. Complementing this book is the companion website,
which includes PowerPoints, templates and handouts, annotated website
links and video links for students, and a test bank and discussion
questions for instructors.
This book is essential reading for all school counselors in training as
it provides a comprehensive look at the profession and explores topics
that are most relevant to the role of school counselor.
