Principals have considerable influence on shaping the role of school counselors with whom they work (Amatea & Clark, 2005; Dollarhide, Smith, & Lemberger, 2007; Ponec & Brock, 2000). Researchers used leader-member exchange theory (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1995) to examine the relevance of principal–school counselor relationships to school counselors’ role definition, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions. A path analysis model explained 15% of the variance in how school counselors’ roles are defined at the building level, 49% of the variance in school counselors’ job satisfaction, and 20% of the variance in school counselors’ turnover intentions. Implications for school counseling practice and leadership are provided.

Victims Of Bullying

Victims of bullying need assistance in developing better strategies for effectively responding to bullies. Utilizing a new intervention strategy, problem-based learning (PBL), school counselors can incorporate problem-solving and literature-based lessons. This strategy provides the possibility of increasing awareness and knowledge of bullying, achieving teacher/parent involvement, and teaching assertiveness skills. A single-subject design was utilized to determine the effectiveness of PBL with five victims of bullying behavior. Results and implications for school counselors are discussed.
