CURRENT PRACTICES OF COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY IN K-12 SCHOOLS - A NATIONAL SURVEY

Given the debates about the identity and future of counseling psychology programs in colleges of education and given the growing national crisis in K-12 education, this study examined the involvement of counseling psychology faculty in school-related issues. Full-time faculty from APA-accredited counseling psychology programs were surveyed about the extent of their involvement in K-12-related teaching, research, service, policy, and program development. The results suggest a significant interest and involvement by many counseling psychology faculty. The results are discussed in terms of implications for the profession of counseling psychology.
