This project is an attempt at a statewide collection of baseline information on guidance counselors and the services being offered by those counselors in the school districts of Pennsylvania. Data were collected on: (1) counselors; (2) guidance program characteristics as described by counselors; and (3) the various publics being served by the guidance programs. Data were collected from counselors, students, parents, teachers and administrators. It was expected that the baseline information would aid in planning in-service programs, point out to counselors discrepancies in expectations, and help other communities in carrying out evaluations. The project had an advisory committee representing a spectrum of grade levels, professional affiliations and experience. The data suggest that the area most in need of attention is that of communication. The report discusses the ways in which the research results were disseminated, and the uses to which it could be put. (NG)
