Overview

School Counselors as Practitioners, Second Edition is a hands-on, practice-based, task-oriented guide to being an effective school counselor.

Thoroughly revised, this textbook continues to address the foundation of school counseling, the main duties of a school counselor, the skills needed to be successful, and what to expect as a school counseling professional. All these topics have been updated to include the current thinking, research and evidence-based practices, and challenges in school counseling. Additionally, interviews of principals, school counselors, and community leaders are included, which provide readers with the reality of how to navigate the waters of the comprehensive school counseling program. The chapter authors also highlight the necessity of designing, implementing, and evaluating the counseling program for continuous improvement. Online resources provide students with templates and handouts for on-the-job responsibilities, as well as quiz questions for every chapter. 

This updated edition is essential reading for counselor educators, graduate students enrolled in a school counseling program, supervisors of school counselors, including administrators, and practicing school counselors.
