This book is a comprehensive introduction to the profession for school counselors in training, providing special focus on the topics most relevant to the school counselor’s role, and offers specific strategies for practical application and implementation.
In addition to the thorough coverage of the fourth edition of the ASCA National Model, readers will find thoughtful discussions of the effects of trends and legislation, including the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), multitiered systems of support (MTSS), and school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS). The text also provides readers with understanding of how school counselors assume a counseling orientation within the specific context of an educational setting. Each chapter is application-oriented, with an equal emphasis both on research and on using data to design and improve school counselors’ functioning in school systems. Complementing this book is the companion website, which includes PowerPoints, templates and handouts, annotated website links and video links for students, and a test bank and discussion questions for instructors.
This book is essential reading for all school counselors in training as it provides a comprehensive look at the profession and explores topics that are most relevant to the role of school counselor.
"This book is a tour de force within the school counseling literature. Introduction to School Counseling provides a reader-friendly blueprint for conceptualizing, planning, and delivering comprehensive school counseling programs within complex twenty-first-century school contexts. This book strikes an important balance between theory, research, and practice; situates school counseling prominently within school reform initiatives; provides concrete strategies and recommendations for school counseling programs; and recognizes diversity and social justice as an indispensable component of school counseling."

"I will gladly use this textbook with our students. It is current, comprehensive, well-written, thoroughly researched, and exceedingly accessible. Even though I am deeply familiar with the content, I found myself reading with great interest and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this textbook for all who wish to learn about the past, the present, and the future of the school counseling profession. The authors have constructed an engaging textbook for graduate students and practicing professionals alike."
Kevin Wilkerson,PhD, NCC, ACS, Associate Professor, Department of Counseling and Human Services, University of Scranton
"This book does an outstanding job establishing the modern-day context of school counseling both by reviewing the evolution of the field with compelling analysis of diverse perspectives on important trends and developments and by featuring impressive use of data and research to separate opinions from facts. Great examples to illustrate sometimes-vague concepts abound, as do concrete and practical suggestions for both novice and seasoned school counselors. Throughout, the writing is clear, crisp and learner friendly."
