Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine teacher perceptions and expectations about the role of school counselors in various school districts. This research study examined teacher perceptions and expectations in all grade levels, examined similarities and/or differences related to teacher expectations and the 'appropriate' and 'inappropriate' activities outlined in the ASCA's National Model, and determined to what extent teacher expectations correlate to their perceptions of school counseling. A mixed method approach was used to address the research questions. Data from this study indicated that teachers' expectations of the school counselor role and their perception of the school counseling profession correlate to their overall understanding of school counseling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manuscript examines faculty perceptions of the school counselor's role. The study takes place in a rural intermediate school district where the participants are the faculty. Participants were asked to strongly agree, agree, strongly disagree or disagree with statements based on what School Counselor's role should be which current research identifies as being the most important responsibilities of a School Counselor. Results of this study reflect that the teachers and staff of this school do value the important responsibilities. However, participants who had more than 10 years of experience, were less likely to value certain roles such as classroom guidance, teacher consultation, and informing faculty of what the School Counselor's role is. What can be taken away from this study is that there are significant gaps in older generation teacher perceptions pertaining to the different knowledge about School Counselors' role responsibilities versus a guidance counselor in the past.

Book excerpt: The ASCA National Model represents a developmental, comprehensive counseling program that focuses on program foundation, delivery, management, and accountability (Campbell & Dahir, 1997). The ASCA National Model is believed to be dependent on collaborative relationships with other stakeholders. Teachers represent a powerful group of stakeholders, as they can influence the effectiveness of the school counseling program. In a national survey, high school teachers (n=401) were asked about their perceptions of school counselors. The focus of this research study was to ascertain: (a) the value teachers place on the appropriate role responsibilities and inappropriate role activities as described in the ASCA Executive Summary; (b) their perception of school counselor engagement in the appropriate responsibilities and inappropriate activities as described in the ASCA Executive Summary; (c) teacher willingness to collaborate with school counselors; and (d) their perception of school counselor willingness to collaborate with other stakeholders including teachers. This research revealed that there is still a need: (a) to increase teacher awareness on the role of the school counselor; (b) for school counselors to demonstrate their effectiveness; and (c) for school counselors to pursue collaborative relationships with teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clear understanding of the school counselor's exact responsibilities has been sought for years. Most recently, the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has attempted to provide counselors and other school personnel with more precise guidelines as to what tasks are within the school counselor's training and job description. However, even with a national, comprehensive model of school guidance counseling, perceptions of school counselor's responsibilities and effectiveness are greatly debated. This research was conducted to determine teacher perceptions of the role of the school counselor in Wisconsin and to offer recommendations to school counselors regarding best practices in serving students while engaging in a dual role. A total of 33 teachers responded. A modified version of the Classroom Teacher Survey a/School Counselor Effectiveness (Beesley, 2004) was used to evaluate teacher perceptions. Results indicated the teachers' overall adequacy ratings were not affected by the number of additional responsibilities held by the school counselor. The only outcomes that were statistically significant were supervision and substituting for others. Results indicated teachers whose school counselors had two or more additional responsibilities rated their counselor higher in supervision and substituting for others than did those teachers whose counselor had no or only one additional responsibility. Future research is needed to examine the links between multiple roles and school counselor effectiveness.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A school counselor plays a significant role in school life. The role function of a counselor has been defined by the American Counseling Association (ASCA). Sta ndards of practice have been aligned to provide school counselors with baselines for practice. The description of a school counselor's role has been adopted by the Guidance Office in the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (EMEH) as based on the definition and standards provided by the ASCA. The review of the li terature has revealed confusion and misperception regarding the role function of a school counselor. Parents, teachers, and principals were found to have differ ent perceptions regarding the role of a counselor. According to Lambie & William son (2004), even counselors were found to have different perceptions regarding t heir own role. Research has revealed the absence of recent studies regarding the role function of a school counselor in the Lebanese Educational Settings. The p urpose of this study intended to investigate how the role of a counselor is perc eived by students, teachers, parents, principals and counselors themselves. The study examined the current perceptions, highlighted misperceptions and studied t he effect of those misperception on the implementation of the role in school set ting. A sample of (482) students from the middle and secondary levels, (482) parents, (384) teachers, (7) counselors and (5) principals participated in a descriptive study whereby they responded to a questionnaire instrument aimed to investigate the present perceptions regarding the role function of a school counselor. All c ounselors participated in a focus group to answer questions regarding the curren t perceptions, misperceptions if found, and how the role is being implemented at their current schools. There was a general agreement on groups' perception regarding the role of a coun selor. There were some misperception which were discussed with a focus group of counselors. The study investigated the effect of those misperceptions on the imp lementation of the role in school setting, and provided recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The test score gap between blacks and whites—on vocabulary, reading, and math tests, as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic aptitude and intelligence--is large enough to have far-reaching social and economic consequences. In their introduction to this book, Christopher Jencks and Meredith Phillips argue that eliminating the disparity would dramatically reduce economic and educational inequality between blacks and whites. Indeed, they think that closing the gap would do more to promote racial equality than any other strategy now under serious discussion. The book offers a comprehensive look at the factors that contribute to the test score gap and discusses options for substantially reducing it. Although significant attempts have been made over the past three decades to shrink the test score gap, including increased funding for predominantly black schools, desegregation of southern schools, and programs to alleviate poverty, the median black American still scores below 75 percent of American whites on most standardized tests. The book brings together recent evidence on some of the most controversial and puzzling aspects of the test score debate, including the role of test bias, heredity, and family background. It also looks at how and why the gap has changed over the past generation, reviews the educational, psychological, and cultural explanations for the gap, and analyzes its educational and economic consequences. The authors demonstrate that traditional explanations account for only a small part of the black-white test score gap. They argue that this is partly because traditional explanations have put too much emphasis on racial disparities in economic resources, both in homes and in schools, and on demographic factors like family structure. They say that successful theories will put more emphasis on psychological and cultural factors, such as the way black and white parents teach their children to deal with things they do not know or understand, and the way black and white children respond to the same classroom experiences. Finally, they call for large-scale experiments to determine the effects of schools' racial mix, class size, ability grouping, and other policies. In addition to the editors, the contributors include Claude Steele, Ronald Ferguson, William G. Bowen, Philip Cook, and William Julius Wilson. "
