School Counselor Multicultural Counseling Competence Assessed by State School Counselor Licensure Examinations
Journal of School-Based Counseling Policy and Evaluation, v3 n2 Article 5 p79-90 Dec 2021
This study is the first systematic examination of how school counselor multicultural counseling competence (MCC) is addressed in state licensure examinations of school counselors. Results offer preliminary support to the notion that state licensure examinations indeed address some important aspects of MCC, as identified by Holcomb-McCoy (2004). Yet, considerable variability exists across examinations in the percentage of content devoted to these commonly addressed areas. Quantitative content analysis shows there are several important aspects of school counselor MCC that are not being tested in state examinations. Discussions and implications are provided.
