Program Evaluation in School Counseling is the first book on program evaluation that looks to the field and literature of program evaluation and then relates methods, procedures, and practices back to the practice of school counseling.

Written by two accomplished authors who teamed up to build evaluation capacity among school and school-based counselors internationally, the book highlights their interdisciplinary work, covering many years and several continents. Based on the authors’ model for teaching program evaluation and their research on school counselor competence in program evaluation, this concise, clear, and practical guide supports the continuing professional development of school counselors through training, workshops, and self-study. This book addresses the program evaluation knowledge, skills, and understandings that school-based counselors are expected to use in line with the CACREP 2016 Standards.

The book is intended as a companion text for university courses in research methods and/or in the organization and administration of counseling services. It is also appropriate as a self-study guide to help practicing school counselors develop expertise in evaluation.
