Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the school counselor has changed immensely over the last several years. The school counselors' role has evolved &om providing vocational guidance to addressing the developmental needs of all students. "A career in school counseling in the 21st century is a world away &om what school counselors used to do. As the profession and school counselors themselves continues evolving, the students benefit even more'' (Viccora, 2006, p. 1 1). School counselors today are assuming many different responsibilities and roles due to current educational trends. Student-counselor ratios have continued to rise across the country and the national average far exceeds the recommend ratio. As student-counselor ratios continue to rise across the country, it is imperative that we turn to school counselors for their perspectives on the changes in their professional roles. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of Wisconsin K-12 school counselors related to changes in their professional role. Data were collected from 47 Wisconsin school counselors using an online survey instrument during the spring of 2006. The results indicated that the largest responses to increased activity change came in the areas of testing, meetings, paperwork, counseling for personaVsocia1 issues, and class scheduling. The only activity for which a considerable decrease in time spent was group counseling. The factors that respondents rated highest for contributing either some or very much to their changing role as school counselors were school environment, student/counselor ratio, No Child Left Behind, and declining budgets. School counselors predicted that they will experience an increase in caseloads, tracking of student progress toward standards, counseling for personaVsocia1 issues, referrals to outside agencies, and will make greater use of technology in the next five years.

Download or read book A Survey Study of School Counselors Perceptions of the Importance of Professional Development Areas written by Laura J. Bridegan Curran and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The requirements for school counselor certification have changed since 2000 in Missouri. Most notably, the requirement of previous teaching experience has been removed. Since the position of counselor developed out of teaching, many studies have examined teaching experience or lack of it as variables. Yet none has examined school counselors' perceptions of the importance of professional development areas related to the MoStep School Counseling Competencies. This research study surveyed school counselors to determine if there was a relationship between teaching experience or lack of it and counselors' perceived importance of 18 professional development areas derived from the MoStep School Counseling Competencies. The study also examined demographic variables, self-efficacy and stress, and their possible relationships to counselors' perceptions of the importance of professional development for those with teaching experience and those who lack teaching experience. Findings suggest that teaching experience has no relationship to counselors' perceptions of the importance of professional development areas. An unanticipated finding was that counselors' perceptions of the importance of professional development areas was related to counselors' years of experience as a counselor. Since the early years of counselor experience are important to success in the profession, issues such as early-career mentoring and administrative understanding of the role of the school counselor may prove useful.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation attempted to ascertain how school counselors, working in a county located in the northeastern United States, perceived their own preparation and training regarding the management of mental health issues. It also attempted to gain an understanding of how school counselors managed mental health issues involving students grades K-12. This research was relevant and necessary, as recent research has shown there has been a significant increase in the numbers of children and adolescents suffering from mental health issues. This study was completed via an internet survey of 60 school counselors, eliciting information in order to understand the evolution of school counseling programs and focused on the current status of the school counselor in regard to student mental health. I discovered significance in three realms. First, I anticipated that my findings could be helpful to inform curriculum in school counselor education. Second, findings captured various conceptualizations of school counselor professional development. Third, outcomes could aid school counselors, and the profession more generally, to reconceptualize their role in the management of mental health and other psychosocial issues"--Leaf ii.

Download or read book Exploring Student Mental Health Support Through the Lens of High School Counselors Perceptions of Preparation and Professional Development Needs written by Lindsey Taylor Page and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School counselors are the first personnel called on in a school to provide daily student mental health support. However, complications such as additional non-counseling duties and high student to counselor ratios exist which limit the time school counselors have available to support student mental health needs. While the number of youths needing mental health support was already on the rise, the global pandemic of COVID-19 has caused this number to increase rapidly. School counselor graduate programs can be clinical or school counseling focused, and the role of the school counselor according to the American School Counseling Association is to provide short-term counseling interventions, and then refer out for long-term, severe mental health issues. Since so many youths need mental health services currently, referrals to community agencies are taking months to be processed. By asking school counselors to assess their own level of preparedness and professional development needs around student mental health support, school counselors can share if their preparation and professional development needs are being met and what additional support, if any, counselors need to be successful in helping students. In this exploratory study, ten high school counselors in one medium-sized, partially suburban, partially rural school district in Florida responded to an electronic survey containing questions about their graduate school preparation in mental health and current district professional development needs around mental health. When it came to feelings of preparation, most counselors felt "prepared" or "mostly prepared" to provide support on a list of typical youth mental health topics. When it came to time spent providing mental health support, 56% of counselors reported spending on average 2-3 hours daily providing support for student mental health needs. For professional development needs, school counselors wanted more mental health coursework in graduate school. For their district professional development, counselors wanted to be trained, observed and given feedback from licensed mental health clinicians rather than being trained by district school counseling staff or other school counselors. The findings of this study show that while school counselors are indeed spending large quantities of time providing direct student mental health support and referring students out for clinical mental health support, they are still faced with providing counseling interventions for longer periods of time to more students than normal due to the long wait students have to see a mental health provider and the mental health consequences students are having as a result of living through the COVID-19 pandemic. One main issue the counselors' responses revealed is that the mental health support school counselors are providing at this moment in time is still largely responsive and at the Tier 3 level supporting individual students rather than preventative and at the Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels for the entire school population, as demonstrated by a higher number of counselors selecting individual counseling and crisis intervention as services they provide and fewer selecting schoolwide mental health awareness activities, classroom guidance lessons, or small group counseling as services they provide. When assessing professional development needs, school counselors do feel that they could use more mental health training to support students. School counselors wanted to be trained more often by licensed mental health professionals as opposed to other school counselors. School counselors also expressed that they would have liked to have more mental health coursework in their graduate program. The implications of these findings show that the school counselor role is evolving to include more direct student mental health support than it previously required. Since counselors are spending so much time in mental health support that is responsive and typically supporting one student at a time, it is imperative for school counselors to assess if the interventions they are applying are truly effective, or if a more preventative approach, while hard to transition to initially, would result in a need for less responsive services in the long run. The recommendations from this study are that the role of the counselor should incorporate more mental health training by districts, graduate programs, and mental health counselors. Reducing student to counselor ratios would also help school counselors provide a preventative, comprehensive school counseling program, reducing the volume of responsive mental health services currently provide.
