This second edition presents an updated action-based curriculum for high school counselors that will meet the needs of 21st century students, helping to foster their growth and engage them in learning what they need to succeed beyond high school.
This book takes a comprehensive, developmental approach, focusing on 9th-12th grade students rather than solely on those in 11th and 12th grade. It provides a model for developing and enhancing a successful college advising office as well as essential advice on methods of working with parents. Specific topics discussed include successful transition to 9th grade, using technology in the college and career advising process, assisting and advising students in college research and application, and helping seniors make successful transitions to college. There is also a special focus on students in urban and rural schools to enable them to have the same enriched experiences in their college and career advising program as those students in private and suburban schools.
The curriculum is geared for use by school counselors, college advisors, and readers in graduate counseling student courses.
