What school counseling topic/concept/theory did you learn from the research article?

Research-based Discussion Paper

This is a short, maybe 5 page research paper for an introductory school counseling program. One article (peer reviewed) needs to be used for this paper. The article must be related to school counseling, not just something that a school counselor might do. The research must come from a peer reviewed journal. There are three questions that have to be answered:

1. Why did you choose this research article?

2. What school counseling topic/concept/theory did you learn from the research article?

3. As a school counselor, HOW WILL YOU USE what you have learned? Or, what is your action plan to demonstrate what you have learned?

It will be graded on a summary of the article, analysis of how the article was chosen, reflection of what was learned in relation to school counseling from reading this article, and the plan for using this material in your own classroom or school counseling practice.
