An Examination of School Counselor Involvement in School-Family-Community Partnerships
Bryan, Julia; Holcomb-McCoy, Cheryl
Professional School Counseling, v10 n5 p441-454 Jun 2007
The study in this article investigated school counselor involvement in school-family-community partnerships and factors that influence such involvement. Participants were 235 members of the American School Counselor Association. Factor analyses of responses to the survey designed specifically for this study defined a set of factors that were used to examine variations in school counselor involvement in partnerships. Regression analyses revealed that (a) collaborative school climate, (b) school counselor role perceptions, (c) school counselor confidence in ability to build partnerships, and (d) school counselor attitudes about partnerships were significantly related to the counselors' involvement in school-family-community partnerships. Implications for school counselor training, practice, and research are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.)
