In order for school counselors to be effective in these roles, school principals need to understand what school counselors do, and how to best support them. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study was to understand the reasons behind Illinois Principal Preparation Programs' decisions to include or exclude content on school counseling and the ASCA National Model within their curriculum. Fifteen of the twenty three ISBE approved Illinois Principal Preparation Programs were surveyed to determine if they include information on school counseling and/or the ASCA model in their curriculum. Follow-up interviews were conducted with four program directors (two whose schools do include school counseling and two whose schools do not) to better understand the reasons for including/excluding school counseling content in the curriculum. Analysis indicates that school counseling may not be included at schools because it isn’t required by the ISBE code that outlines requirements for Principal Preparation Programs. Some programs that do include content are including it as part of MTSS curriculum and student support services. Analysis seems to indicate that programs who also have a school counseling program and/or have former school counselors in their Principal Preparation faculty are more likely to include school counseling content in their curriculum. 2025-05 Thesis https://hdl.handle.net/2142/129461 Copyright 2025 Jessica Mulder Educ Policy, Orgzn & Leadrshp Educ Policy, Orgzn & Leadrshp University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Ed.D.
