Overall, all five groups hold high perceptions of our program, as demonstrated in the following table (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = excellent) Overall Perception of the UNC School Counseling Program 1 Alumni Employers Site Supervisors Students Faculty In 2014, there were 24 graduates of the School Counseling Program. All fulfilled requirements enabling them to be recommended for school counseling licensure at the Advanced Graduate Level through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Of the 24 graduates, 20 are employed during the school year as school counselors. One graduate is employed as a teaching assistant, and one graduate entered a PhD program in Cultural Studies. Two graduates did not respond. Of the 20 graduates working as school counselors, 15 are employed in North Carolina, one in Florida, one in Massachusetts, one in New Jersey, one in Colorado, and one in Illinois. Across the K-12 levels, there are 11 graduates employed as counselors in high schools, five in middle schools, three in elementary schools, and one in a K-8 school.
2 2014 UNC School Counseling Evaluation Report 2 The following sections provide an analysis of the data collected from each of the five stakeholders. Alumni Survey A survey requesting evaluative data about the school counseling program was sent via to all 2013 graduates of the program (N=25). This questionnaire also solicited information concerning the graduates current employment, namely supervisor names and addresses, so that a current employer survey could be ed to them. All 25 graduates completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 100%. Using a four-point Likert scale (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = excellent). Respondents were asked to rate themselves on 17 skills/characteristics, drawn from the 2009 CACREP standards, as they relate to their abilities as school counselors. Each of these items also included an N/A option for not applicable. The 2013 graduate mean rating of the overall training received in the program was positive (M = 3.24, SD =.60). On average, the highest-rated quantitative items by graduates were understanding the school counseling profession (M = 3.52, SD =.51), understanding of the cultural context of counseling relationships, issues, and trends in a multicultural society (M = 3.50, SD =.59), understanding the counseling process (M = 3.48, SD =.51), the ability to conduct individual and group counseling (M = 3.48, SD =.51), and the ability to promote the personal and social development of students and build protective factors in the school environment (M = 3.46, SD =.51). On average, the lowest-rated quantitative items by graduates were understanding of assessment, research and program evaluation (M = 2.75, SD =.90); ability to conduct and interpret a variety of appropriate assessments (M = 2.76, SD =.66), ability to conduct research to improve the school counseling program (M = 2.96, SD =.68), understanding the nature and needs of persons of all developmental levels (M = 3.00, SD =.58), and understanding group counseling approaches (M = 3.05, SD =.68). Graduates were also asked to provide a list of program strengths and weaknesses. Program strengths listed by graduates included the yearlong internship placement, the cohort model, the short length of the program (14 months), the quality and enthusiasm of the professors, the strengths-based approach, hands-on experiences, and faculty supervision and availability. Areas of program weaknesses included a lack of experience/training at different levels, the varying quality of internship experiences, the lack of consistency among professors regarding supervision experiences, and lack of preparation with other theoretical approaches to counseling besides Solution-Focused counseling. Graduates were also requested to provide suggestions for improving the school counseling program. While the bulk of the comments were related to practicum/internship experiences, such as providing high quality internship placement

Clearer expectations for graded assignments for practicum/internship assignments More flexibility in due dates for practicum/internship assignments Employer Survey To obtain feedback on the quality of the performance of our graduates who are employed as school counselors and to improve the training and education of our students, a questionnaire was sent via to the employers of the 20 graduates of our programs who are employed as school counselors. Of the 20 surveys distributed, 8 were completed, yielding a response rate of 40%. Using a four point Likert scale (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = excellent), employers/supervisors were asked to rate the graduates on 17 skills/characteristics based on the CACREP standards as they relate to the graduates position as school counselors.

4 2014 UNC School Counseling Evaluation Report 4 Provide instruction on cultural awareness and research-based ways to help different subgroups have success in school. Site Supervisor Survey A survey was sent via to the site supervisors of the 24 graduate students in our program. This was done to obtain feedback on how the preparation school counselors received may be improved. Of the 24 surveys distributed to site supervisors, 22 were completed, yielding a response rate of 91.6%. Site supervisors were asked to rate the graduates on 17 skills/characteristics based on the CACREP standards as they relate to the graduates position as school counselors using a four point Likert-type scale (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = excellent). Each of these items also included an N/A option for not applicable. The site supervisor mean rating of the quality of preparation they received to act as a site supervisor reflected positively on the program (M = 3.64, SD =.49). Further, site supervisors felt supported by program faculty (M = 3.73, SD =.55). Site supervisors were also asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = not likely at all, 10 = very likely), how likely they would recommend a colleague hire a graduate of our program, most respondents rated us very likely (M = 9.69, SD = 1.09). On average, the highest-rated quantitative items by site supervisors were the ability to promote the personal and social development of students and build protective factors in the school environment (M = 3.81, SD =.40), understanding of the school counseling profession and ethical practice (M = 3.77, SD =.53), ability to implement a strengthsbased, ASCA model school counseling program and demonstrate ethical practice (M = 3.77, SD =.43), and ability to counsel and advocate for diverse groups in the school context (M = 3.77, SD =.43).

This questionnaire also solicited information concerning the students site experiences, contact information, and elective courses. Out of the 24 students, all students completed the survey yielding a response rate of 100%. Respondents were asked to rate themselves on 17 skills/characteristics, drawn from the CACREP standards, as they relate to their abilities as school counselors using a four point Likert-type scale (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = excellent).

6 2014 UNC School Counseling Evaluation Report 6 Program strengths, listed by students, included the yearlong internship placement, the cohort model, the short length of the program (14 months), the strengths-based approach, the emphasis on ASCA, and dedicated and knowledgeable professors. Areas of program weakness included the length of the program (14 months), communication between faculty and between faculty and supervisors, consistency in expectations among faculty and supervisors, lack of support, more training on theories, limited exposure to other grade levels, and advocacy on behalf of the faculty for students. Students were also requested to give suggestions for improving the school counseling program. The following is a summary of the suggestions provided: More focus on theories and learning a variety of theories Better recruitment for males and minority students Better communication between professors and site supervisors More time at different levels Faculty need to serve as advocates for students Create more time for student self-care Faculty Survey A questionnaire was sent via to the four non-core faculty who taught in the program during This was done to obtain feedback on student performance and program structure. All four responded, yielding a response rate of 100%.

Summary In summary, the program is highly regarded. Across all stakeholders, the focus on the ASCA National Model, the 14-month program, the cohort model, and utilizing a strengths-based approach are seen as strengths of the program, while a need to coordinate more with site supervisors regarding practicum and internship assignments,
7 2014 UNC School Counseling Evaluation Report 7 communication between site and university supervisors, and communication among university supervisors need to be improved.
