The Reflective School Counselor's Guide to Practitioner Research - Skills and Strategies for Successful Inquiry (Paperback)

"Like the little train that said 'I think I can, I think I can,' this book tells school counselors, 'You can, you can' do research. The text encourages and guides school counselors who have very little time and resources for research, enabling them to show and tell the differences that result from their programs." -Angie Stansell, School Counselor Hatton High School, Town Creek, AL "This text can help any school counselor develop the observation and analytical skills to become a practitioner-inquirer. However, the book is much more than a collection of research techniques-it is a celebration of what is possible when school counselors pursue answers to their own questions about the students with whom they work. I predict this groundbreaking book will become a classic." -Ruth Shagoury Author, The Art of Classroom Inquiry Become an advocate for underserved students by using data from inquiry projects! This practical and timely book is ideal for school counselors unfamiliar with the process of practitioner research, from framing research questions and gathering authentic data to using results that can benefit students and create lasting schoolwide change. The authors use the American School Counselor Association's National Model to build practitioners' inquiry skills on issues of achievement, opportunity inequities, school culture, and community partnerships. The text covers: Practical methods for formulating the questions on which inquiry projects are based A step-by-step process for collecting, analyzing, and using data Guidelines for developing counselors' advocacy, leadership, and collaboration skills
