Overview

So much is expected to prepare today's students for success-academic achievement, career and college readiness, emotional and social competency, just to name a few. At least one in 5 children in the United States has some mental disorder, but few schools have the infrastucture in place to help these children. School counselors can make an enormous positive difference in children's lives. Yet, school counseling programs are in crisis because of undefined roles, skyrocketing student-counselor ratios, and decreasing budgets. Leaders and counselors must move away from outdated roles and embrace school counseling programs that ensure readiness for ALL students. In a succinct question and answer format, the authors provide affordable solutions to the increasingly complex systemic issues facing K-12 schools, students, and school counseling programs.

<p> 101 Solutions for School Counselors and Leaders in Challenging Times is a book that belongs on the desk of every practicing school counselor, and indeed the shelf of anyone who supervises and supports school counselors as well. The authors have written an essential toolkit detailing state-of-the-art best practices that speak to the needs of professionals, be they new entrants to the field or those with decades behind them, who wish to keep up-to-date. And ultimately the volume can be equally valuable to progressive leaders responsible for overseeing school counseling programs and broader pupil personnel functions as well. <p>Organized into 16 free standing, well integrated chapters, each of which features its own glossary and bibliography for easy reference as well as lists of print and web-based resources for further action, the book poses and answers essential questions about issues impacting school counseling in the 21st century from a systemic, social justice perspective. Ultimately, like good school counseling itself, 101 Solutions supportively challenges those who read it to become activist practitioners, and to consider not only their own school or district's school counseling program, but state and national policies as they impact on children, youth, and families. <p>101 Solutions brings to life and integrates resources ranging from the American School Counselor Association's National Model and Ethical Code to recommendations of College Board's National Office for School Counselor Advocacy and the Education Trust's National Center for Transforming School Counseling. In one handy volume everyone concerned with the future of education will find accessible summaries of current research augmented with meaningful real-life examples of how these practices are being implemented, contributed by school counselors and supervisors from across the nation.
