School Counselor Perceptions of Preparation and Importance of College and Career Readiness Counseling
Novakovic, Alexandra; Patrikakou, Eva N.; Ockerman, Melissa S.
Professional School Counseling, v25 n1 2021
This study addresses school counselors' perceptions of the importance of college and career readiness counseling and their preparedness to implement aspects of such counseling with students and families. Results from surveying school counselors in a large urban district serving a diverse, low-income student population indicated that school counselors did not believe they were well prepared to provide many aspects of college and career readiness counseling, although they perceived that each area was important to their work with students and families. We discuss implications for training school counselors in college and career readiness counseling.
