Student Version

The School Counseling Program Report Card - Student Version is a program evaluation tool designed to capture high school student perceptions of school counseling services. This article describes the initial instrument development process. Exploratory factor analysis (N = 305) yielded a 22-item instrument with three subscales that mirror the ASCA National Model domains. Reliability of subscales ranged from α = .89 to .91. Expert review and concurrent validity tests demonstrated initial support for the use of this program evaluation instrument to gather process-level data.

Research Competencies

This study investigated how state licensure examinations address school counseling program evaluation and research. In the 31 states that require them, examinations gave little attention to measuring competencies associated with designing and conducting a program evaluation. We found variability in how these examinations addressed research competencies. These results indicate a need for greater clarity and understanding on the part of state examiners regarding what school counselors need to know and be able to do in terms of program evaluation and research.

This article evaluates the initial psychometric qualities of the School Counseling Program Evaluation Survey (SCoPES). SCoPES is a 64-item instrument designed to correspond to The National Standards for School Counseling Programs (Campbell & Dahir, 1997). Coefficient alphas on the overall score and the three subscales (i.e., Academic, Career, and Personal/Social Development) were all above .90. All items had significant factor loadings with the specified subscales. The loadings for Academic Development were .38 to .79; for Career Development, .42 to .78; and for Personal/Social Development, .36 to.70. The indexes of goodness-of-fit supported a three-factor instrument. Additionally, students with more contacts with their school counselor reported more career competencies than did students who had never met with a counselor.
