CULTURALLY CONSIDERATE SCHOOL COUNSELING

By Kim L. Anderson. Giving her counseling expertise and personal experience, the author provides strategies that help school counselors work with diverse learning populations, understand how biases have evolved in new and challenging ways, and create schools without bias. Counselors learn how to recognize the needs of students, including those with various spiritual beliefs and body types; interact with families, faculty, administrators, and communities; engage in self-reflection, self-care, and professional growth; and more. A list of competencies, including ASCA National Model Standards, is featured in each chapter. Grades K–12. 7" x 11". Corwin. Approximately 190 pages. ©2010.
