School Counselors and Principals: Different Perceptions of Relationship, Leadership, and Training.
Armstrong, Stephen A.1 MacDonald, Jane H.1 Stillo, Sandy1
Abstract: This study examined school counselors' and principals' perceptions of their relationship and the effectiveness of their respective professional preparation programs. An exploratory factor analysis (n = 615) revealed three salient factors: relationship quality, campus leadership and training satisfaction. Kruskal-Wallis tests revealed statistically significant differences in all three factors across the four groups (elementary counselors and principals, and secondary counselors and principals). Mann Whitney U post hoc tests indicated more statistically significant differences among secondary counselors and principals than elementary. Implications for school counselors and improvements in preparation programs for counselors and principals are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
