School counseling strategies that promote student success!

So much is expected to prepare today’s students for success—academic achievement, career and college readiness, emotional and social competency, to name a few. School counselors can make an enormous positive difference in children’s lives. Yet, school counseling programs are in crisis because of undefined roles, skyrocketing student-counselor ratios, and decreasing budgets.

Leaders and counselors must move away from outdated roles and embrace school counseling programs that ensure readiness for ALL students. In a succinct Q&A format, the authors provide school counselors and educational leaders with

  • 101 solutions to common counseling issues across the K–12 spectrum on topics ranging from data-driven counseling to bullying, , collaboration, and equity
  • Stories of school counselors and educational leaders who have successfully implemented these solutions
