The Use of Data in School Counseling: Hatching Results for Students, Programs, and the Profession

Reach ALL students and prove how critical your counselling program is!

For school counsellors, using data effectively doesn’t have to be a burden. Data can make the difference for today’s embattled school counselling programs, and this insightful book shows how to collect and manage it.

School counseling scholar and advocate Dr. Trish Hatch describes how K–12 counsellors can replace “random acts of guidance” with intentional, well-timed interventions, based on student data. Aligned with current research and the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) standards, this essential resource includes a complete set of tools and templates for data collection, action-planning and reporting. Readers will learn how to

• Develop a robust counselling curriculum that supports the Common Core Standards and drop-out prevention
• Replace “random acts of guidance” with intentional, well-timed interventions that are based on student needs
• Measure progress through pre- and post-assessments
• Deliver compelling reports that demonstrate your program’s impact
