School Counseling Principles: Ethics and Law

This practical guide addresses school counselors and their work through a legal and ethical lens. More than 100 cases representing school counselors’ daily dilemmas in working with minors in schools are answered through the application of court cases. The case study approach helps connect real school counseling issues to critical federal and state statutes, ASCA’s Ethical Standards for School Counselors, case law and typical school board policies. The fourth edition aligns with the 2016 ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors and contains new information on court cases since the last edition. The fourth edition also includes quizzes at the end of each chapter for school counselor educators to use in their classes.
