Classroom Management Competencies for School Counselors: A Delphi Study

Abstract

The school counseling core curriculum is an essential element of a comprehensive program. School counselors need to be proficient in classroom management to successfully implement this intervention, yet few recent empirical investigations of school counselors' classroom management knowledge and skills exist. We conducted a Delphi study with school counseling classroom management experts to create a consensus list of competencies associated with effective classroom management for school counselors. We provide implications for school counseling stakeholders.

Elementary School Counselor Experiences Teaching Lessons on a Related Arts Schedule

“…Elementary school counselors are encouraged to provide classroom instruction as part of their comprehensive programs (ASCA, 2019), and research has addressed some topics related to school counseling classroom lessons (e.g., Akos et al, 2007; Buchanan et al, 2017; Geltner et al, 2011; Runyan et al, 2019). However, Ziomek-Daigle et al (2016) identified a dearth of literature on elementary school counseling in general, and we found no published research examining school counselor experiences teaching classroom lessons.…”

“…Nevertheless, limited research exists related to school counselors teaching classroom lessons in elementary schools. Some scholars have addressed skill-related concerns such as classroom management (Buchanan et al, 2017;Geltner et al, 2011;Runyan et al, 2019) and lesson development (Akos et al, 2007).…”

Further, McCormac and Snyder (2019) reported variation within one school district in relation to what lessons elementary school counselors were teaching and whether or not they taught lessons.…”

Falacias y dilemas éticos: una experiencia docente aplicada a la auditoría.

“…Como metodología de investigación, utilizamos el método Delphi adaptado a las características de nuestros participantes, Si bien el método Delphi se ha utilizado ampliamente en la investigación educativa, estas investigaciones hacen referencia principalmente a la visión del profesor (experto) sobre el tema de estudio (Runya et al, 2018;Calabor et al, 2019;Akar, 2020). En nuestra propuesta adaptamos la técnica Delphi para involucrar a los estudiantes de Auditoría en la identificación de los dilemas éticos a los que deberán hacer frente en su futuro quehacer profesional, y por tanto, no utilizamos un panel de "expertos" propiamente dicho.…”

Development and Validation of the School Counselor Classroom Management Inventory

“…

School counseling classroom lessons provide all K-12 students with Tier 1 preventive supports. Educators use classroom management strategies to best deliver classroom lesson content to K-12 students, although the existing literature for school counselors in particular is sparse (e.g., Goodman-Scott, 2019;Runyan et al, 2019). We describe the creation and validation of the first known assessment on school counseling classroom management: the School Counseling Classroom Management Inventory, resulting in a five-factor model.
