-Titulo Original : Comprehensive School Counseling Programs K-12 Delivery Systems In Action (merrill Counseling)-Fabricante : Pearson-Descripcion Original: An in-depth look at all aspects of creating and managing a comprehensive school counseling program, with a focus on designing systemic programs to serve all students. Accessible and inclusive, this comprehensive guide to K-12 school counseling explores delivery systems and the practical tools professional school counselors need to design, implement, manage, and evaluate comprehensive, developmentally appropriate school counseling programs for all students.

The updated, revised chapters of this new edition written by contemporary experts in the field of school counseling. Review From reviews of the text: “For me, the key strengths of the text are many. I like the writing style, which is informal and informative. It is accessible to students at the graduate level and engaging for them to read. Also, I like the use of Reflection Moments and Case Studies for each chapter. Since I teach online, I use many of these as Discussion Board topics, which allow students to interact with each other while reflecting on the main points of the chapter. Finally, the focus on the ASCA National Model is essential. This is the standard of our profession and should be the focal point of any textbook on school counseling. The authors do an effective job of weaving the National Model throughout the text, demonstrating for students how integral it is in the life of school counselors.” David Dietrich, University of TN at Martin “The ‘Case Study’ at the beginning of each chapter not only makes the students aware of current issues but, unlike other texts, it confronts very challenging issues that “are not talked about.” Excellently written case studies. . . . The text covers many of the “everything-I-wanted-to-know-about-school-counseling’ questions that new counselors often have. With other texts, I need to use supplemental materials for these necessary conversations. . . . In my mind, this is the leading textbook on Foundational knowledge for school counseling.” Chris Helgestad, Adler Graduate School From the Back Cover From reviews of the text: “For me, the key strengths of the text are many.
