Autor Carla F. Shelton, Edward L. James
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2005
The book is designed for secondary school counsellors faced with moving their current programmes from service-centered to programme-centered focus. The new school environment of standards-based and data-based practices is leading counselling programmes to establish student competencies and implement a process of continuous evaluation and improvement, and the authors provide the necessary tools for this transition following the ASCA Standards. The book identifies five core strategies that impact and improve the effectiveness of secondary school counselors, by focusing on continuous improvement, advisement, career education, transition, and communication.
