Who incorporates the ASCA National Model (one portion to all) into their practice? If so, what are some challenges, limitations, or barriers you have faced when implementing the ASCA National Model into your practice? What are some of the perceived benefits or strengths of incorporating the ASCA National Model into your practice? What are contributing factors to your job satisfaction, stress, and (potentially) burnout as a school counselor?
Background • Burnout is the physical or emotional exhaustion experienced due to work overload leading to difficulty with competently performing clinical tasks on the job and devaluing clients due to a combination of individual and environmental factors (Lee et al., 2007; Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001). • Burnout has the potential to negatively impact client care (Maslach, 1979) and the personal lives of school counseling professionals (Wilkerson & Bellini, 2006) • Roles of school counselors are often ambiguous and conflicted due to the changing educational system (Lambie & Williamson, 2004) • •
Role Ambiguity Role Conflict (Rizzo, House, Lirtzman, 1970)
Please complete the School Counseling Program Implementation Survey (SCPIS; Clemens, Carey, & Harrington, 2010) & How satisfied are you with your job? Completely Satisfied (10) -----------5----------- (1) Completely Unsatisfied
Developing a Personal Goal for Today’s Session • Identify one or two (SMART) goals based on your SCPIS (Clemens et al., 2010) ratings or your current experiences of job satisfaction, stress, or burnout. Example: I will have one conversation with my principal before the beginning of the school year that includes a discussion of five types of direct services I will engage in to help students succeed throughout the 2016-2017 academic year.
