Developing and Managing Your School Guidance and Counseling Programs
The fifth edition of this bestseller expands and extends Gysbers and Henderson's acclaimed five-phase model of planning, designing, implementing, evaluating, and enhancing Pre-K-12 guidance and counseling programs. This enduring, influential textbook has been fully updated to reflect current theory and practice, including knowledge gained through various state and local adaptations of the model since publication of the last edition.
Exciting additions to this new edition are increased attention to diversity and the range of issues that students present, counselor accountability, and the roles and responsibilities of district- and building-level guidance and counseling leaders in an increasingly complex educational environment. An abundant array of examples, sample forms, job descriptions, evaluation surveys, flyers, letters, and procedures used by various states and school districts clearly illustrate each step of program development. At the end of each chapter, a new feature called "Your Progress Check" functions as a tracking tool for growth at each stage of the change process.

October 27, 2014This one is a real thrill ride. With all the twists and turns from vocational guidance and a position service model. A must read for all. Okay, so I was actually bored out of my mind. With this said I don't think it is the books fault. It is a book for working professionals who want to move towards CC&G. In that regard it is probably great. It just isn't the best for first semester grad students, too dense and hard to follow, with a lot of jargon that it is expected that the reader knows. I think another Gysbers bok probably would have been more apropos (Ha! Finally got to use that word, see studying GRE words does pay off).

Not to dis too much on Gysbers but man Norm, learn how to write! This was terribly dry.
