Publication A Model for Evidence-Based Elementary School Counseling: Using School Data, Research, and Evaluation to Enhance Practice(2008-01-01) Dimmitt, Carey; Carey, JohnIn this article we present a model for evidence‐based school counseling practice that involves using data to specify problems that need addressing, using multidisciplinary teams to identify and implement research‐based interventions, and evaluating interventions and programs to demonstrate effects. Potential benefits of this approach for elementary school counselors include interventions with better outcomes for students and enhanced professional standing.Publication Identifying Exemplary School Counseling Practices in Nationally Recognized High Schools(2009-01-01) Militello, Matthew; Dimmitt, Carey; Carey, John; Lee, Vivian; Schweid, JasonThe National Center for School Counseling Outcome Research (CSCOR) at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst studied exemplary practices of 18 high schools that received recognition for college preparation and placement in 2004 and 2005. Through interviews with key personnel at each of the high schools, the researchers generated a set of ten domains that characterize the work of the school counselor that seem to be related to improved student enrollment in post-secondary institutions.
