This special edition of Professional School Counseling presents
some of the key proceedings from the sixth annual Evidence-Based School
Counseling Conference (EBSCC). The EBSCC exists to provide professional
development around effective school counseling program components and
interventions, especially related to evidence-based practices and other
cutting-edge innovations in school counseling. We offer a brief history of the
EBSCC, a definition of evidence-based school counseling, and an overview of the
contents of this special issue. Future directions for evidence-based school
counseling conclude the article.
