School Counseling Classroom Guidance: Prevention, Accountability, and Outcomes is an indispensible text for all students training for the profession of school counseling. This text provides comprehensive information for school counselors as they deliver classroom guidance to all students. With the diverse students in our schools, novice school counselors often struggle with responsibilities such as classroom management, lesson plan development, and evaluating student learning outcomes.
