This staff training module presents a program for group career counseling in rural and small schools. Module contents are based on two handbooks: "An Individualized Approach to Career Counseling and Placement" and "Career Counseling in the Rural School." An active dialog about the current status of counseling in rural schools is used to introduce the module. A general framework for accomplishing improved counseling services is presented before moving on to a detailed look at five major counseling services (individual inventory, counseling interview, information, coordination and referral, and follow-up). A case study is incorporated as an optional learning activity to highlight some of the issues discussed. Another suggested activity directs participants, working in small groups, to identify ways in which a developmental career counseling program can be achieved. A brief summarization of key concepts concludes the module. Issues examined include major obstacles to effective counseling (large student-counselor ratio, lack of administrative and staff support, focus on remedial counseling, and lack of accurate information) and steps to assist counselors accomplish their mission (establish good working relationship with administration, identify needed improvements in current counseling program, improve time management, increase availability of counseling services, and orient and seek support of teachers).
