Upon opening this textbook for the first time and glancing at the table of contents, students are presented with chapter titles that reflect all the crucial subject matter of what it takes to be a school counselor. Examples of national models and paradigms, all designed to make the profession manageable and understandable, are on display throughout the book. The authors have incorporated the human side of school counseling at the core of every chapter, hoping not to block the spirit of caring for people by what at first glance might appear to be academic jargon.

This book is designed as a means for graduate students and others to lend their voices to the issues confronting school counselors and, most importantly, to chart the course for invention in school counseling. The authors believe that the school counseling profession is enriched when the voices of aspiring professionals meet the voices of experience, with the aim of creating new ways to serve.

Incorporates information about the ASCA National Model and the Transforming School Counseling and School-Community Collaboration paradigms--These three paradigms, especially the ASCA National Model, offer the profession ideas that have potential for making school counselors leaders and collaborators in the primary mission of the schools, namely, student academic achievement.

Provides goals for a balanced school counseling program--The goals highlight the importance of school counseling programs designed to serve all students proactively and responsively with emphases on advocacy, leadership, and collaboration.

Accountability is highlighted in its own chapter and in the Prevention Programming and Counseling chapters--The conceptual and pragmatic information presented emphasizes the importance of accountability within the role and functions peculiar to school counseling and as a part of the greater school community that is focused on student achievement.

New section on advocacy via political action and other advocacy approaches for school counselors--Highlights the importance of professional advocacy and the necessity for new generations of school counselors to be more actively involved in issues affecting the role and functions of school counselors. Provides behavioral recommendations for implementing advocacy and social justice concepts.

Incorporates a new, living Chapter 13 that invites students to use Internet technology to advance their ideas about school counseling--The school counseling profession is enriched when the voices of aspiring professionals meet the voices of experience, with the aim of creating new ways to serve.

The end of every chapter offers students the opportunity to share their voices on the material presented. Students’ thinking will be showcased at the SCAN21st internet site (www.scan21st.com)--The school counseling profession is enriched when the voices of aspiring professionals are showcased to challenge new and experienced professionals alike.

High stakes testing challenges covered in assessment chapter--Clarifies what the roles of school counselors should and shouldn’t be in the high stakes testing environment.

The personal side of counseling is integrated into every chapter, beginning with poignant vignettes at the beginning of every chapter--Keeps the spirit of caring for people at the forefront in the minds of aspiring school counselors.
