Produktbeschreibung

"The first edition of The Ultimate School Counselor's Guide to Assessment and Data Collection has come to fruition out of the professional observations and experiences of the authors and those that they have supervised and trained. What is highlighted in the field and supported by research is that school counselors-in-training are not getting adequate knowledge and training in assessment and data collection relevant to their specialty area. While counselor preparation programs frequently require a course in counseling assessment, school counselors-in-training often report dissatisfaction in the relevance of what is covered, as the content is not focused on what school counselors actually see and use in practice. Further, practicing school counselors often express confusion in not knowing what assessments may be best suited to the work, which could be related to lack of knowledge or lack of accessibility of such instruments. Prior to this book, no resource existed that focuses on the concept of assessment specifically for school counselors and provides them with formal and informal assessments that provide opportunities for data collection that, in turn, informs one's data-driven, CSCP. Whether it be individual student data, school level data, school counseling program level data, or about the school counselors' practices or beliefs, this professional resource offers a unique opportunity to meet the call from school counseling professionals to have guidance and access to instruments that focus on multiple levels of data"--
