Journal of School Counseling, v16 n2 2018
Multicultural counseling competence is vital for school counselors to meet the diverse needs of school communities. Furthermore, school counselors are called upon to develop and maintain their multicultural counseling competencies throughout the course of their careers. This study explored perceived multicultural counseling competencies of school counselors (N = 320) in three Midwestern states. Data sources were the Multicultural Counseling Inventory (MCI), Marlowe-Crown Social Desirability Scale, Short Form-C (MC-C), and demographic questions. Results demonstrated statistical significance between gender, years of experience, and social desirability across subscales of the MCI. Implications for school counselors and school counselor educators are provided.
