TIMELY CONTENT IS RELEVANT TO TODAY'S SCHOOL COUNSELORS AND CONTEMPORARY PREK-12 STUDENT POPULATIONS. Your pre-service graduate students are able to apply chapter concepts to real-world dilemmas. A school-based scenario in every chapter asks students to consider contemporary issues, such as closing opportunity gaps. Every chapter concludes with a response to the chapter's opening scenario from a practicing school counselor. This response lets students compare their own solutions to those from practicing professionals.
EACH CHAPTER OPENS WITH AN ENGAGING CASE SCENARIO AND CLOSES WITH PROFESSIONAL INSIGHTS. A case scenario at the start of each chapter illustrates the chapter concepts that follow and prompts students to critically think through a typical school-based situation. At the chapter's conclusion, students compare their responses to opinions or insights about the scenario from a practicing school counselor and leading expert in the "Voices from the Field" feature. Topics range from motivational interviewing to implementing the ASCA National Model.
LEARNING OUTCOMES CORRESPOND WITH ACCREDITATION EXPECTATIONS. Content aligns with the 2023 Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) standards and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
