ABSTRACT
Researchers examined data from a national sample of 776 school counselors to further determine the factor structure of the School Counselor Leadership Survey. Confirmatory factor analyses supported use of a modified 5-factor model. Survey scores demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent validity. Differences between supervisors and school counselors are discussed.
