Book Description

School counselors in the 21st century have changed the way society understands the profession in both theory and practice. The focal point of the American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA) National Model is for school counselors to promote student success by reducing the existing achievement gap found among students of color, poor students, or underachieving students and their more advantaged peers (ASCA, 2005). However, little data is available on the activities of school counselors and the percentage of African American students in urban schools. The purpose of my study was to explore the relationship between the frequency of activities performed by school counselors as defined in the ASCA National Model and the percentage of African American students in urban schools. I used a known validated instrument, the School Counselor Activity Rating Scale (SCARS) which measures the frequency with which school counselors perform activities recommended by the ASCA National Model (Scarborough, 2005). My results showed that many of the participants were Caucasian (56%) and women (91%). The average age of the participants in my study was 37 years old. While a plurality of the participants (41%) worked in high schools, the other participants were employed evenly in the other three settings of elementary, middle/jr., or other/combination. I discovered that in terms of years employed as a school counselor in their current setting, most of the participants (71%) had been in their current school fewer than five years in an urban school. Most of the counselors (69%) had obtained a master’s degree in school counseling from a program accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). School counselors working in schools with various ranges of African American students took part in my study. The average school counselor that responded to my study had (48%) Africa American students in their schools. School counselors working in urban schools implement many of the activities recommended by the ASCA National Model on a frequent basis. I conducted Pearson correlations to identify a relationship between school counselor activities and the percentage of African American students in schools. The results show no significant relationship between school counselors’ activities and the percentage of African American students. Practicing school counselors as well as administrators in urban schools can gain insight from the results of my study.

Book Description

The development of the ASCA's National Standards and Model has helped define the profession and provided a framework for school counselors to implement in designing a program. Despite recent clarity in the school counseling profession, barriers still exist, especially in urban settings. As collaborators, teachers perceptions were measured in regards to urban school counselors implementing ASCA's Model and its components (Elements/Themes). Overall, results showed that teachers were in favor of the ASCA National Model and its components. Teacher's [sic] gender and number of years teaching did not significantly influence responses to survey questions. Despite high perceptions of the model, more research needs to be conducted in urban schools to determine if this model is practical and feasible.

Book Description

The purpose of this study was to investigate the implementation of the ASCA National Model by high school principals in their schools. The questions that guided this study were: (1) what was the experience of high school principals who successfully implemented the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model: A Framework for School Counseling Programs in their schools and (2) what was the impetus for high schools principals to implement this model? Six principals completed a series of semi-structured interviews with regards to the implementation of the ASCA National Model in their schools. The interviews were transcribed and then analyzed utilizing Moustakas' modified version of the Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method of data analysis for phenomenological research. Themes derived from the data analysis suggest that there is a common essential experience with regards to the implementation of the ASCA National Model by high school principals in their school, including seven major categories: (a) impetus for pursuing the implementation of the ASCA National Model, (b) benefits of implementation, (c) counseling program schools had in place, (d) time commitment, (e) the implementation experience, (f) implementation advocates, and (g) advice to peers. No studies were encountered in the literature examining the implementation of the ASCA National Model by high school principals in their schools, highlighting the singular nature of this research. Contributions of the finding to existing literature are presented, implications, limitations and delimitations are explored, and suggestions for future research are provided.

Book Description

In 2002, the American School Counselor Association presented the ASCA National Model for school counseling programs as a framework for implementing best practices in training counselors to deliver effective evidence-based approaches for K-12 students. Without a unifying theory of practice, school counselors are often uncertain about how to implement the National Model. Considering school counselors' professional role under the National Model, Theories of School Counseling for the 21st Century offers readers a compilation of contemporary, cutting-edge theoretical models to inform the way school counselors practice the art and science of school counseling.
