Designed for school counseling course work and as a reference for school district personnel, this text demystifies the roles and responsibilities of the school counselor and teaches students and practitioners how to perform, conduct, follow through, and carry out various roles and responsibilities required on the job. School Counselors as Practitioners conveys strategic, step-by-step processes and best practice recommendations, with emphasis on ethical and multicultural considerations. The 14 chapters in this textbook maintain, and are consistent with, the basis of school counselors’ work in the school counseling core curriculum, responsive services, individual planning, and system support, and special attention is paid to ASCA and CACREP standards. A companion website provides students with templates and handouts for on-the-job responsibilities, as well as quiz questions for every chapter.

Review

"Counselors often discover a disconnection between theory and on-the-job reality. Wines and Nelson do a stellar job of selecting experts who elaborate and coach counselors-in-training and those in practice with specific, data-based strategies to masterfully implement a counseling program that meets the needs of all students. I highly recommend School Counselors as Practitioners, an engaging and pragmatic guide that provides counselors with valuable guidelines, activities, and tools."

"Professional identity continues to be one of the greatest challenges faced in the school counseling profession. School Counselors as Practitioners helps both new and experienced counselors find their way by utilizing applications in a real-world setting. School counseling candidates and practitioners alike can benefit from the many practical school-based examples woven throughout the 14 chapters."
