School Counselor Accountability: The Path to Social Justice and Systemic Change
Dahir, Carol A.; Stone, Carolyn B.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v87 n1 p12-20 Win 2009
Expectations run high that accountability for student outcomes will continue to drive the education agenda with reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (1965). School counselors have also recognized the imperative to connect their work to school improvement goals. This article discusses action research undertaken by school counselors who used data-informed practice to align counseling programs with the accountability expectations of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (2002) and the American School Counselor Association (2003, 2005) National Model.
