Strengthening K-12 School Counselling Programs

Strengthening K-12 School Counseling Programs aims to help school counselors, counselors in training, school administrators, and other members of the school community develop and strengthen developmental school counseling programs. Providing a step-by-step approach to planning and managing a comprehensive developmental counseling program, this book encourages school and community-based counseling teams coordinate their efforts to design coherent, complementary programs rather than competing, fragmented ones.This second edition is significantly expanded, including additional information on preparing the advisory team and building a foundation of core beliefs and governing values. Also included is an example of a Counseling Program Activity Guide, as well as a chapter devoted to examples from the field from school systems in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Tokyo, Japan.
