Add your own review!

Overview

Designed to supplement any school counseling course, this text profiles elementary school counselor Claudia Vangstad--her vision, identity, beliefs, capabilities, and behaviors within the context of her school and community. The authors used Vangstad's experience to construct a model of a school counselor-in-action and provide a broad framework for thinking and working like one. The authors hope to encourage students to evaluate their own beliefs through the study of this example.
