Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company and the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) announce second edition featuring three new chapters and a companion CD with other counselor materials.
DUBUQUE, IA. – College admission advisors spend an average of 29 percent of their work week engaged in college counseling, yet there are few educational resources available to support their need for training, up-to-date data, and guidance that provides a professional perspective regarding college admission.
To fill the void of too few educational resources, NACAC together with Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company have published the second edition of Fundamentals of College Admission Counseling. Loaded with best practices from experts in the field, the second edition has been updated and includes three new chapters on ethics, college choice and using data. It also includes a companion CD with counselor materials. These additions make this textbook the source for college admission counseling professionals.
The new chapter on College Choice discusses the models which influence why a student selects a particular college. The new chapter on Using Data details the various kinds of data used in college admission counseling and suggests how counselors can use the data to benefit students and families. In addition, the new chapter on Ethics addresses the ethical foundations of the admission and college counseling professions; both the broader ethical expectations and the specific NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice. The companion CD contains numerous resources for secondary school counselors who can download and use these resources immediately.
