A statewide evaluation of school counseling programs in Utah high schools explored which features of the ASCA National Model were related to student educational outcomes. The authors used hierarchical linear regression and Pearson correlations to examine relationships between program characteristics and student outcomes. School counseling program features accounted for statistically significant portions of the variance in critical student outcomes. Results provide additional support to previous studies that found benefits for students associated with more complete implementation of comprehensive school counseling programs. These findings also indicate that implementing features of the ASCA National Model is associated with improved student outcomes.

This article presents the school resilience profile for seven high schools in Makassar, Indonesia and explains the relationship between school resilience and bullying behavior at the schools. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess the status of school resilience, the dynamics of the bullying phenomenon in the schools, and the relationship between school resilience and bullying. The data were obtained using a structured questionnaire administered to 490 high school students (Grade 11, aged 15-17). The results of the analysis suggest that the six main aspects of school resilience have been implemented in the studied high schools. Further, the results indicate that increasing school resilience could reduce the occurrence of bullying cases. The measures the schools have implemented to improve school resilience are expected to continue to lower the occurrence of bullying cases. The results of this study provide valuable data for the development of effective school resilience-based anti-bullying policies.

This paper is a report on the findings of a study conducted on ten primary and secondary schools in Spain where we evaluated how digital tools can contribute to reinforce and develop new ways of tutoring and counseling. The research shows how many counseling functions can be highly enhanced with the use of virtual tools, that is, academic planning, career postsecondary planning, tutoring, counseling, and personal-social development. One of the most important school counselor’s roles is to coordinate resources and services to best assist students and families in fulfilling their needs. Virtual tutoring and counseling through the development of virtual communities are key strategies to better connect with groups—students, parents, administrators, teachers, and others—as part of comprehensive developmental tutoring and counseling programs. Indeed, effective school counseling programs are a collaborative effort among many important groups of people whom digital tools help significantly.
