Program Evaluation in School Counseling is the first book on program evaluation that looks to the field and literature of program evaluation and then relates methods, procedures, and practices back to the practice of school counseling. Written by two accomplished authors who teamed up to build evaluation capacity among school and school-based counselors internationally, the book highlights their interdisciplinary work, covering many years and several continents. Based on the authors’ model for teaching program evaluation and their research on school counselor competence in program evaluation, this concise, clear, and practical guide supports the continuing professional development of school counselors through training, workshops, and self-study. This book addresses the program evaluation knowledge, skills, and understandings that school-based counselors are expected to use in line with the CACREP 2016 Standards. The book is intended as a companion text for university courses in research methods and/or in the organization and administration of counseling services. It is also appropriate as a self-study guide to help practicing school counselors develop expertise in evaluation.

School counseling programs have been recognized as an educational component that ultimately benefits student achievement at most developmental stages. Comprehensive school counseling programs are executed in alliance with a specific school counseling model, such as the Comprehensive Developmental Guidance model, or more recently, The American School Counselor Association National Model (ASCA, 2003, 2005, 2012). Although the school counseling literature reports positive outcomes associated with comprehensive school counseling programs, there are still challenges in their implementation and evaluation. Program evaluation as stressed in The ASCA National Model is to confirm the effectiveness and value of these programs and interventions. Yet, the school counseling literature has not clearly discussed the wide range of existing tools used in conducting sound program evaluations, nor has it thoroughly explored the quality of existing program evaluations. Consequently, the purpose of this sequential two-phase study was to conduct a metaevaluation of school counseling program evaluations. A sample of school counseling evaluations was assessed regarding their conformity to the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation (JCSEE) accuracy standards (Yarbrough et al., 2011), utilizing the Program Evaluation Metaevaluation Checklist (Stufflebeam & Coryn, 2014). The authors of the evaluations engaged in semi-structured interviews designed to discover their perceptions of the capability of program evaluation to accurately determine the effectiveness and efficiency of school counseling programs and interventions. Findings of the study showed that the overall metaevaluation ratings conformed less to JCSEE standards. However, this low performance is further explained from the interview participants’ perspectives. Interviews themes corresponded to strengths and weaknesses, methodology orientation, and key factors affecting the practice of evaluation in the field. The findings may assist the school counseling community and policymakers in gaining insight into the issues surrounding evaluation practice in the field and the use of metaevaluation as a tool to assess quality. To further these aims, it is also recommended that school counselors build more bridges and increase communication with the professional evaluation community
