Book excerpt: The ASCA National Model represents a developmental, comprehensive counseling program that focuses on program foundation, delivery, management, and accountability (Campbell & Dahir, 1997). The ASCA National Model is believed to be dependent on collaborative relationships with other stakeholders. Teachers represent a powerful group of stakeholders, as they can influence the effectiveness of the school counseling program. In a national survey, high school teachers (n=401) were asked about their perceptions of school counselors. The focus of this research study was to ascertain: (a) the value teachers place on the appropriate role responsibilities and inappropriate role activities as described in the ASCA Executive Summary; (b) their perception of school counselor engagement in the appropriate responsibilities and inappropriate activities as described in the ASCA Executive Summary; (c) teacher willingness to collaborate with school counselors; and (d) their perception of school counselor willingness to collaborate with other stakeholders including teachers. This research revealed that there is still a need: (a) to increase teacher awareness on the role of the school counselor; (b) for school counselors to demonstrate their effectiveness; and (c) for school counselors to pursue collaborative relationships with teachers.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine teacher perceptions and expectations about the role of school counselors in various school districts. This research study examined teacher perceptions and expectations in all grade levels, examined similarities and/or differences related to teacher expectations and the 'appropriate' and 'inappropriate' activities outlined in the ASCA's National Model, and determined to what extent teacher expectations correlate to their perceptions of school counseling. A mixed method approach was used to address the research questions. Data from this study indicated that teachers' expectations of the school counselor role and their perception of the school counseling profession correlate to their overall understanding of school counseling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clear understanding of the school counselor's exact responsibilities has been sought for years. Most recently, the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has attempted to provide counselors and other school personnel with more precise guidelines as to what tasks are within the school counselor's training and job description. However, even with a national, comprehensive model of school guidance counseling, perceptions of school counselor's responsibilities and effectiveness are greatly debated. This research was conducted to determine teacher perceptions of the role of the school counselor in Wisconsin and to offer recommendations to school counselors regarding best practices in serving students while engaging in a dual role. A total of 33 teachers responded. A modified version of the Classroom Teacher Survey a/School Counselor Effectiveness (Beesley, 2004) was used to evaluate teacher perceptions. Results indicated the teachers' overall adequacy ratings were not affected by the number of additional responsibilities held by the school counselor. The only outcomes that were statistically significant were supervision and substituting for others. Results indicated teachers whose school counselors had two or more additional responsibilities rated their counselor higher in supervision and substituting for others than did those teachers whose counselor had no or only one additional responsibility. Future research is needed to examine the links between multiple roles and school counselor effectiveness.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research is limited concerning the alignment of the perceived role of high school counselors among stakeholders. This quantitative methods study found both convergent and divergent themes surrounding high school counselors' roles and how others perceive their roles. Counselor job descriptions were not well aligned with American School Counselor Association recommendations. Differences between grades and school as well as gender and ethnic differences were found. Counselors adapted to requirements of the local site and culture, which tended to drive the importance of certain duties over others. Recommendations were made for clearer role definition from professional organizations and identification of stakeholder perceptions that would allow counselors to develop more effective relationships and meet needs for counseling services within stakeholder expectations as well as counselor-identified need areas. Factor analysis found seven latent variables that counselors seem to focus on according to the importance ratings of stakeholders were: 1) College, career, and class planning; 2) School programs and communication; 3) Student personal issues; 4) Working with staff; 5) Student learning; 6) Technician, teaching, and supervision; and 7) Rules, regulations, and discipline. Supporting research includes an analysis of district and school site job descriptions; differences in overall group perceptions of students, parents, teachers, and counselors; and an analysis of demographic differences in the interpretation of counselors' roles. Results also include a convergence of the lowest mean difference in areas where the professional identity of high school counselors align with serving the academic needs of students to be best prepared for postsecondary experiences such as employment and/or acceptance to college. A clearer consensus of the role of counselors, one that aligns with recommendations from a counselors' professional organizations, such as the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), and with job descriptions by school boards, may allow counselors to better serve students, parents, and teachers. By identifying the stakeholder perceptions on the frequency and importance of counselor roles, high school counseling teams can move towards such an alignment in order to be more effective in providing counseling services.

Book excerpt: The roles and responsibilities of school counselors across the United States are often misinterpreted amongst various stakeholders, individual state requirements for educational initiatives, and often among practicing counselors' own perceptions and view of professional identity. While the American School Counselor Association (ASCA, 2003; 2005) strives to provide ethical standards and practices to solidify the professional identity of school counselors and acquire the qualifications and skills to address all students' academic, personal/social and career development needs, a clear defined definition and perception of the school counselor continues to become solidified. Perhaps this is due to the changing educational horizon, communities, administration, and federal influences of policies and procedures on schools and school districts (Bain, 2012). Whatever the reason, school counselors are faced with a myriad of challenges that make it difficult in today's educational society to adhere to the social/emotional, post-secondary/career, and academic needs of all students. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA, 2003;2005) has developed the ASCA National Model: A Framework for School Counseling Programs which establishes a structure for effective school counseling programs; however, school counseling programs, credentials, and educational initiatives can be different from state to state. This study examined high school counselors (9th-12th grade) in Pennsylvania, suburban, public high Schools, specifically in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. A quasi-mixed methods, exploratory research approach was used. Nonparametric statistics were run to determine if a significant impact of demographic variables yielded a difference in school counselors' self-efficacy. Additionally, school counselors were randomly selected to participate in semi-structured, open-ended interviews, examining high school counselors' perceptions and self-efficacy regarding their roles and responsibilities pertaining to students' mental health issues. Results indicated that gender, one's undergraduate degree of education, and years of experience have significant impact on school counselors' self-efficacy, specifically related to certain items on the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales (Lent, et al., 2003). After content analysis coding, it was also found that school counselors feel high efficacy beliefs associated with specific roles and responsibilities and that self-efficacy beliefs change if counselors perceive a lack of stakeholder support or do not feel they are valued. Some implications for future research might be a longitudinal study of school counselors' self-efficacy over a given period of time and a larger sample size. It might also be helpful to combine elements of the CASES Scales with other school counselor based scales to form a more unified measurement that speaks to school counselors' roles and responsibilities that have been identified within this study and expand to specific mental health diagnosis, disorders, and behaviors. KEY WORDS: School Counseling, Communication, Educational Psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the profession of school counseling, counselors have been responding to societal need. Along the way there have been questions about school counselor accountability. School counselors are accountable to several constituencies: school administrators, school staff, themselves, their professional community, students, and parents. The purpose of this literature is to focus on parents' perceptions of the role and function of school counselors. Overall, the data uncovered for this review was mixed in terms of school counselors effectiveness in fulfilling their role and function. When considering parental perceptions of the school counselor's role and function, this review concludes with recommendations for practitioners and researchers. An example of one recommendation is for school counselors to educate parents on the counselor's role and functions so parents have accurate information.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perceptions vary regarding the need for school counseling candidates to have prior teaching experience before working in a school setting. While some believe that teaching experience adds to the credibility and skill set of the school counselor, others believe that classroom management, discipline and lesson design can be learned through the practicum, internship or on-the-job training provided to school counseling candidates. Schools often have their own climate and school politics to contend with. Each setting offers unique challenges for the new counselor based on the job description, administrator needs and school expectations. Knowing how to best meet the diverse needs of the new job setting, school counselors are often ill-equipped to enter the work setting with all the background experience necessary without prior teaching experience. Counselor educator programs who provide hands-on experience, regular contact with educators and opportunities to observe and interact with current professionals in the schools give school counseling candidates much of what they will need to be effective in the classroom. Additional courses to strengthen lesson planning and development, classroom management and discipline and strategies for development of accommodations for students with limited English speaking ability and accommodations for students with disabilities all may help counseling candidates overcome limited classroom experiences with valuable insight to help them understand school politics and ways to best serve all students in a school setting.
