ABSTRACT
Using interviews as a primary data source, the experiences of counselor educators preparing school counselors to engage in professional advocacy (i.e., promoting their value and roles) were examined in this study. The findings indicate that the participants taught professional advocacy through role modeling and active learning approaches. They recognized the importance of teaching the ASCA model and using data for role promotion, but they also described challenges, including facing resistance and fear from their students.
