Who's in Charge? School Counseling Supervision in North Carolina.
Survey results of school counseling supervisors in North Carolina are summarized. Responses show that the majority of school counseling programs in the state are supervised by noncounseling personnel, usually supervisors of curriculum, instructional programs, or other educational areas. Supervisors' educational backgrounds, professional memberships, opinions about counselor certification issues, dominant supervisory functions, and staff development activities are described. The survey results give impetus to recommendations for future AACD and ACES directions regarding counseling supervision.
National Perspectives on State Guidance Office Functions.
This study was designed to identify those guidance functions that national groups of school counselors, counselor educators, and state supervisors agree should be the responsibility of the state guidance office. A 36-item questionnaire including items descriptive of administrative, regulative, and developmental functions was mailed to random samples of counselor educators (usable returns: 156; 44.7 percent) and school counselors (usable returns: 510; 51 percent) and their responses were compared with those of 113 state guidance supervisors from 37 states. Results identified possible functions as appropriate for the state guidance office, marginally appropriate, nonsupported, and functions over which marked disagreement existed (conflict). Results appeared to support functions of leadership, advocacy, and support rather than administrative-regulatory functions.
