An Examination of Factors that Relate to School Counselors' Knowledge and Skills in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Abstract

Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the authors examined factors that relate to school counselors' knowledge and skills in multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). A sample of 4, 066 school counselors participated in an online survey. Results indicated that school counselors' time spent on ASCA-aligned activities predicted more MTSS knowledge and skills. This article presents implications for school counselor training programs, counselor educators, school counselor leaders, and practicing school counselors.
