Effect of School Counselor Training on Self-Efficacy in Crisis Handling
Journal of Educational Research and Practice, v13 n1 p447-461 2023
We presented a 4-hour training program designed to enhance school counselors' self-efficacy in handling school crises, with a specific focus on school shootings. Employing a pretest-posttest research design using the School Counselor Response to Violent Crisis Questionnaire, we found that the training was effective in improving the self-efficacy of participants (n = 35) in crisis handling. We discovered, in our pilot study, that crisis training specifically tailored to school counselors can be effective in enhancing their self-efficacy in crisis handling. We discuss our study's implications for school counselors, workshop leaders, school leaders, and researchers.
