Coverage is built around eleven key competencies, which are carefully tied to three of the most important current initiatives in the school counseling field. Unique to the text is its position as the foundation for the School Counseling Activities Network (www.scan21st.com), which brings graduate students, professors, and practicing school counselors together through the Internet.
