The use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) is growing among school counselors. However, little is known about school counselors’ attitudes toward EBPs and related factors. We investigated the relationships between school counselors’ grade level, years of experience, theoretical orientation, and attitude toward EBPs. Results indicated that the use of cognitive/behavioral theory and number of years of practice related to attitudes toward EBPs. We offer implications for school counseling practice and future research.

Purpose: This study examined how content knowledge (CK) varies between teachers with different levels of content expertise in teaching volleyball. In addition, it investigated changes to the content-experienced (C-Exd) teachers’ enacted pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and their students’ performances after developing CK, compared with those of the content-expert (C-Ext) teachers. Method: Two C-Exd and two C-Ext teachers and their 72 students participated in this study. A well-designed CK workshop was implemented for the two C-Exd teachers’ CK improvement. Differences in the teachers’ CK, enacted PCK, and their students’ performance measures were compared. Results: The results of this study indicated that the C-Ext teachers possessed stronger CK than the C-Exd teachers and that the C-Exd teachers improved their enacted PCK and the students’ motor performance after the CK workshop without showing statistically significant differences from those of the C-Ext teachers. Conclusion: The study presents ways to promote teacher effectiveness with supportive evidence-based practices.

This article proposes a three-step model for implementing successful university and practitioner partnerships to advance the use of evidence-based practices (EBP) in school counseling. Although an ethical mandate exists to use EBP, many school counselor educators and school counselors struggle to implement EBP in their coursework or at their schools. The university–practitioner partnership model proposed here emphasizes that EBP be taught in coursework, that students reinforce those practices through observation of practitioners using them in their schools, and that students experiment with EBP in their fieldwork. We provide suggestions to support successful implementation of the model.

This special edition of Professional School Counseling presents some of the key proceedings from the sixth annual Evidence-Based School Counseling Conference (EBSCC). The EBSCC exists to provide professional development around effective school counseling program components and interventions, especially related to evidence-based practices and other cutting-edge innovations in school counseling. We offer a brief history of the EBSCC, a definition of evidence-based school counseling, and an overview of the contents of this special issue. Future directions for evidence-based school counseling conclude the article.

Although school counselors and school counselor educators have an ethical responsibility to use and to teach evidence-based practices (EBPs), recent research has illustrated a lack of EBP in counselor education scholarship. In school counselor education programs, training related to EBP may be absent due to a lack of understanding or instructor training. This article provides a model using three pedagogical approaches for integrating EBP into school counselor education programs. We review the three approaches—stand-alone courses, full program integration, and program–school–community integration—in depth and use a case study to illustrate the application of the three approaches. Implications for school counseling practice and research conclude the article.
