A clear understanding of the school counselor's exact responsibilities has been sought for years. Most recently, the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has attempted to provide counselors and other school personnel with more precise guidelines as to what tasks are within the school counselor's training and job description. However, even with a national, comprehensive model of school guidance counseling, perceptions of school counselor's responsibilities and effectiveness are greatly debated. This research was conducted to determine teacher perceptions of the role of the school counselor in Wisconsin and to offer recommendations to school counselors regarding best practices in serving students while engaging in a dual role. A total of 33 teachers responded. A modified version of the Classroom Teacher Survey a/School Counselor Effectiveness (Beesley, 2004) was used to evaluate teacher perceptions. Results indicated the teachers' overall adequacy ratings were not affected by the number of additional responsibilities held by the school counselor. The only outcomes that were statistically significant were supervision and substituting for others. Results indicated teachers whose school counselors had two or more additional responsibilities rated their counselor higher in supervision and substituting for others than did those teachers whose counselor had no or only one additional responsibility. Future research is needed to examine the links between multiple roles and school counselor effectiveness.

Evidence-Based School Counseling presents a unique method for training graduate students to become effective school counselors that is presented in a "Tell, Show, Do, Coach" approach to instruction and reflective of ASCA, CACREP, and CAEP standards. This method is based on three interrelated components: (a) the ASCA National Model, especially its Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success and its related student competencies, (b) the extensive research base associated with social/emotional learning (SEL), non-cognitive factors and college/career readiness, and (c) evidence-based programs tied to this research base and suited to school counselor implementation. The text highlights how the new ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success have been modeled after this research base and provides resources for school counselors to find evidence-based programs and interventions connected to this research. Evidence-Based School Counseling provides extensive practice and coaching so students can arrive at practicum and internship feeling confident, and they can hit the ground running as they start their careers.

This manuscript examines faculty perceptions of the school counselor's role. The study takes place in a rural intermediate school district where the participants are the faculty. Participants were asked to strongly agree, agree, strongly disagree or disagree with statements based on what School Counselor's role should be which current research identifies as being the most important responsibilities of a School Counselor. Results of this study reflect that the teachers and staff of this school do value the important responsibilities. However, participants who had more than 10 years of experience, were less likely to value certain roles such as classroom guidance, teacher consultation, and informing faculty of what the School Counselor's role is. What can be taken away from this study is that there are significant gaps in older generation teacher perceptions pertaining to the different knowledge about School Counselors' role responsibilities versus a guidance counselor in the past.
