Additionally, this study explored the perceived impact of professional development on the school counselor. This qualitative study collected data from 32 school counselors in six different school districts located in the state of Pennsylvania. Responses from an online survey, open-ended questions, and individual interviews were used to obtain insights from school counselors regarding their feelings towards the professional development activities experienced. Findings suggested professional development made an impact on the majority of school counselors participating in the study. Responses also revealed that school counselors felt the professional development they participated in had moderate impact on their effectiveness. School counselors expressed a desire for relevant, meaningful professional development with the opportunities to learn practical skills applicable to their daily work.
