Book Description
Abstract: High school counselors today have many roles. Through these roles, counselors strengthen student experience. Most of the scholarly literature concerning counselors' roles overlooks the voice of high school counselors serving in a Linked Learning environment. As a result, counselors' voices are missing in conversations about their roles in a Linked Learning environment. Linked Learning is a high school reform initiative that seeks to successfully prepare students for postsecondary education and careers by engaging students in linking strong academics with demanding technical learning, and thereby strengthening their real-world experience in a wide range of fields. The purpose of this qualitative interview study was to investigate high school counselors' perceptions of their roles in a Linked Learning environment. This study contributes to a small body of literature regarding counselors and Linked Learning environments. A conceptual framework was developed utilizing components of the American School Counselors Association themes and delivery systems, as well as the Transforming School Counseling Initiative skills, and community counseling theory to serve as a valuable lens to view the research. This interview study found that counselors in a Linked Learning environment hold and collectively maintain a culture of high expectations and support for all students by serving as advocates, utilizing school guidance curriculum, and providing direct school services. Secondly, counselors work with their Pathway community to identify and intervene for students who are in need of additional support by serving as collaborators, providing responsive services, and indirect student services. Thirdly, counselors get to know their student's needs, and are familiar with the unique characteristics of their Pathway program by serving as systems change agents, providing system support, and indirect school services. Lastly, counselors guide decisions about postsecondary education, training, and career pursuits by serving in the role of leader, guiding students through individual student planning, and providing direct student services. Implications of the study and recommendations for policy and practice are offered within the discussion.

Rowland, Mercer University “This text is a valuable contribution to the profession, addressing the multi-dimensional and complex roles and responsibilities of the 21th century school counselor. It is a foundational text that counselor-educators can utilize throughout a master’s degree program in mentoring interns into the profession.” —Diana L. Stephens, California Lutheran University

Book Description
Despite calls for a more preventive and developmental mode of functioning, school counseling has tended to be driven by a reactive and sometimes crisis orientation. Like social workers and school, counseling, and clinical psychologists, school counselors typically function to alleviate deficits, often in a small percentage of the students they serve. Although this orientation has served school counselors well in many instances, it is not empowering, it does not serve all students, and it does not replace those deficits with the type of positive characteristics and abilities that schools are attempting to develop. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive look at the theory, research, and intervention strategies that comprise a strengths-based, developmental approach to school counseling. In keeping with ASCA recommendations, the Strengths-Based School Counseling (SBSC) framework discusses academic, personal/social and career development outcomes for all students at the elementary, middle and secondary school levels. Other key features include: integrative framework SBSC builds upon contemporary research from a variety of areas: school counseling, developmental psychology, school psychology, education, positive psychology, resiliency, and social work. evidence-based interventions detailed examples of successful evidence-based interventions and environments are presented at the elementary, middle, and high school levels for each major developmental area (academic, personal/social, and career) identified in ASCA‘s National Model. readability and pedagogy beautifully written, the text includes lists of key points, tables of student strengths, illustrative examples, and student exercises.

Book Description
Today's increasingly competitive global economy demands that high schools prepare all students to have the skills necessary to succeed in college and career. Legislative policies have been enacted that require all students be taught and have access to challenging academic content that prepares them to succeed in both college and career. Linked Learning, previously known as Multiple Pathways, is a multiyear, comprehensive high school program of integrated academic and technical study organized around an industry sector that has been adopted by California. Although this program has been around for three decades, there continues to be a low number of students with disabilities graduating with the college and career readiness skills that are promised by the state. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of involvement students with disabilities in a special day class setting have in Linked Learning pathways at a large, comprehensive high school in Southern California. Investigated through a qualitative case study, the researcher examines student course schedules, course selection sheets, and anonymous counselor surveys to answer the question: To what extent are students with disabilities involved in the Linked Learning program at a large comprehensive high school? To provide background, a comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to determine the characteristics of career technical education in the form of Linked Learning pathways and how this program benefits students. Anonymous counselor survey responses were coded using holistic and in vivo coding methods. The data from the surveys along with the course schedules and course selection sheets were equally weighted and triangulated to validate the findings. The study reveals that only half of the students were enrolled in the technical core course of study for their chosen pathway. Counselor beliefs and understandings revealed that there is a lack of understanding of Linked Learning pathways and the benefits this program has on students with disabilities. Consequently, students with disabilities in the special day class setting are not benefitting from college and career readiness skills that are provided through the Linked Learning pathways program. The study recommends through collaborative co-teaching models and high-quality training on Linked Learning pathways, all students but specifically students with disabilities, can benefit from the connection of learning in the classroom with real-world applications used in the workplace. The major conclusion is that inclusion of special education students in general education career technical education courses by way of Linked Learning pathways can be one measure of how to increase college and career readiness.
