The First shall be Last

Combining samples from different distributions is a hazardous process. Traditionally form orders in schools have been produced by combining the marks from different subjects. Bryan Wilson describes a teaching approach to sensitize student teachers to the dangers of doing this.     

Leadership in Guidance: A Survey of School Counseling Supervisors

The authors present the results of a survey of district-level school counseling supervisors in Virginia. The results indicate that few school divisions employ individuals with the title of guidance supervisor. In divisions where such positions exist, they are staffed most often by individuals with guidance training and experience. The supervisors surveyed indicated that they spend a substantial portion of their time providing direct consultative support and assistance to counselors, engage in few research activities, and have few consultative contacts with counselor educators. Recommendations regarding school counselor supervision are offered based on survey data.
