Praxis School Counselor study guide

The Praxis School Counselor assessment (test code 5421) is one of the Praxis Subject Assessments that states and agencies use when issuing school counselor certification or licensure. It is intended for candidates who have completed - or are finishing - a school counseling preparation program and need to show the professional knowledge a K–12 school counselor draws on, from program design and accountability to direct work with students, families, teachers, and administrators. The test is multiple choice and is organized around four content areas: foundations of school counseling; the comprehensive school counseling program; counseling and consultation; and assessment, research, and evaluation. Expect applied rather than purely definitional items - scenarios involving confidentiality and its limits, developmental appropriateness, data-informed decision making, consultation with stakeholders, and program evaluation are all fair game. The Praxis School Counselor study guide has 4 sections and about 1,034 words.
