Abstract
Today's school counselors are increasingly expected to work systemically to address the multiple, complex barriers to student success. This presentation will provide an overivew of Ecological School Counseling, an innovative new paradigm that conceptualizes schools as ecosytems operating under systemic principles includeing interactional causality, interconnectedness, and dynamic balance. The presentation will demonstrate how school counselors can use this model to more accurately assess student needs and develop coolaborative interventions to promote success for all students.
