Virtual School Counseling
Osborn, Debra S.; Peterson, Gary W.; Hale, Rebecca R.
Professional School Counseling, v18 n1 p179-190 2014-2015
The advent of virtual schools opens doors to opportunity for delivery of student services via the Internet. Through the use of structured interviews with four practicing Florida virtual school counselors, and a follow-up survey, the authors examined the experiences and reflections of school counselors who are employed full time in a statewide virtual school. Findings highlight how virtual school counselors differ in their activities from traditional school counselors. This article presents implications for practice, training, and future research.
