What’s COVID-19 Got to Do With It? Implementing the 2020 Connecticut Comprehensive School Counseling Framework

Abstract

The Connecticut Comprehensive School Counseling Framework was released in November 2020—8 months into the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore the progress made by principals and school counselors in implementing the new framework, and to understand the impact of the pandemic on their efforts to do so. We found significant overlap between the perceptions and priorities expressed by participating principals and school counselors. Particularly noteworthy was the fact that both groups described increased collaboration within their schools.
