Download or read book Mental Health in Schools written by Tamara Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The nation's education reform initiatives, predicated primarily on No Child Left Behind legislation, have placed significant performance demands on schools due to radical transformations in accountability articulated in reform-related policy. Sweeping changes in the school counseling profession have emerged in response to these reform efforts and have redefined the primary aims of the profession. In lieu of their previous focus on individual student adjustment and student services, school counselors are now charged with an academic achievement mandate that focuses on school-wide, systemic issues (Martin, 2002). As school counselors change their role from one that primarily provides mental health services to individual children to one that promotes academic achievement more generally, they may unwittingly undermine children's academic achievement by compromising those elements of social and emotional development that are necessary for school success. In addition to impacting academic success, children's mental health problems, which are on the rise, can put them at risk for lifelong difficulties, decreasing their quality of life, increasing the cost to society, and compromising the ultimate goals of education, i.e., to generate a productive workforce and civically-engaged citizenry (Costello et al., 2003). The purpose of this study was to determine how a national sample of school counselors working in K-12 public schools conceptualize their role and functions in addressing children's mental health concerns, their perceptions of their competencies in working with the multitude of children's mental health problems, and the array of delivery arrangements of mental health services and supports in the school. This study provides valuable information about school counseling practices that could have significant implications for improving the efficacy of school counselor mental health service, supports and practices in the schools. This knowledge could provide information helpful for integrating mental health goals and educational services by challenging some of the basic tenets of the ASCA National Model® a position statement by the American School Counselor Association that places accountability for educational achievement at the center of school counselor practice. The study also underscores school counseling professional development and training needs that are requisite to addressing the multitude of mental health needs of children in schools"--Page vii-viii.

Download or read book The Role and Function of School Counselors in Charter Schools written by Allison Grabias and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charter schools have become a mainstream educational reform over the past two decades. Charter schools are public schools, but have autonomy to make decisions independent of local school boards. School counselors across the country use the American School Counselor Association National Model to create and evaluate their comprehensive school counseling programs. Charter schools are based on the idea of innovation and educational reform. Consequently, job roles are frequently redefined. Charter school counselors have been absent from the research. The purpose of this study was to explore the role and function of school counselors in charter schools and examine if their role and function aligns with the primary components of the American School Counselor Association National Model. Using a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, survey design, data was collected from charter school counselors in Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. Eighty-seven charter school counselors participated in the study, completing a demographic questionnaire and the School Counselor Ability Rating Scale. Descriptive statistics were used as well as ANOVAs to analyze between group differences. Findings include: 1) There is a significant difference between the Actual and Prefer SCARS scales 2) School counselors reported performing tasks related to the ASCA National Model rarely to occasionally 3)There is not a significant difference between licensed and unlicensed school counselors working in charter schools 4) There is a significant difference between Elementary, Middle, and High school counselors on the Intervention subscale 5) A comparison of program implementation between states found significant differences in two subgroups, curriculum and coordination 6) Program evaluation was reported to be done rarely to occasionally. Impacts of the results on the school counseling profession, professional organizations, and counselor education programs were further discussed..
