Bonanza

by Noel Loomis

School counseling is a rather specialized field, yet students entering it do not have a single, comprehensive resource to guide them through the process. This text covers all aspects of the practicum and internship experience, from the initial contact with your supervisor to detailed descriptions of each of the different roles you will have, and will help you gain an understanding of the school culture and how to begin thinking about and developing your own philosophy of school counseling. Specific topics covered include popular counseling theories used by school counselors; working with special populations of students; application of the ASCA ethical standards; the administration of day-to-day tasks, such as arranging an office space and managing your time; and elements of the guidance curriculum, including individual student planning, responsive services, and systemic support. Each chapter contains activities, case studies, hypothetical situations, and worksheets designed to facilitate your understanding of and role in the profession. All material presented is consistent with both the CACREP accreditation standards and the American School Counseling Association's National Model (R).

[Jason Waltz · Rating 3 out of 5]

it was fun reminiscing, made me smile. watched this show often, so I could readily picture all the boys and Pa. author did well matching their personalities to their TV versions. this story the boys actually saved the day, as Pa was getting bamboozled by a sneaky dame. the good ol' mostly innocent Western, with bad men who just weren't as bad as they could have been. there were a few times it seemed a paragraph or sentence had been excised awkwardly, but competently written otherwise.

Written early in the show's run. Author didn't have a good handle on the characters.
