High-Stakes Testing: An Examination of Elementary Counselors' Views and Their Academic Preparation to Meet This Challenge

Abstract

School counselors are responsible for addressing social and personal issues, educational issues, and the career needs of students. Recent emphasis on high-stakes testing and school accountability has resulted in counselors focusing more of their time on schoolwide testing programs. A statewide survey provided information on counselors' attitudes of, involvement in, and activities associated with the testing process.
