The school counselor role embodies altruistic intention and behavior, but may lead to burnout. This study tested the hypothesized directional relationship that school counselors scoring at higher levels of altruism would have lower levels of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment). The results of the statistical analyses supported the hypothesized relationship, indicating that altruism contributes to lower levels of burnout. This article discusses implications for school counselors and school counselor educators.

The counseling profession has seen an increase in research exploring counselor educators’ professional identity development. Leadership skills are noted in the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs standards as an important part of a school counselor’s identity, but scholars have paid less attention to leadership identity development for counselor educators. This lack of emphasis in the literature is even more evident when considering the leadership development of racial and ethnic minority counselor educators in school counseling programs. This article explores and critiques noted leadership approaches and provides firsthand accounts of two Black male counselor educators’ experiences leading school counseling programs.

Personal Qualities

Viktor Frankl (1984) stated, “One of the main features of human existence is the capacity to rise above such conditions, to grow beyond them. Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible and of changing himself for the better if necessary” (p. 133). Effective counselors do this daily, rising above conditions, seizing opportunities to change the world of the youth with whom they work, and, in so doing, changing themselves. One counselor records her day as it happened, illus-trating the roles and personal qualities that often are overlooked by counselor educators and researchers but are common to many school counselors. The names have been changed to protect confidentiality.

Essential Skills

If the full impact of the transformation of the school counseling profession is to be enacted, it is incumbent upon school counselor educators to model the same skills and professional mindset that are expected of practicing school counselors. Specifically, school counselor educators can serve as leaders within their educational communities in order to promote systemic change that will remove barriers to student success. The notion of school counselor educators as educational leaders represents a philosophical and behavioral congruence that churns the professional ecosystem, from the professor to the practitioner to the P-12 student. This article outlines the role that school counselor educators can play in modeling leadership and other essential skills for the profession.
