Conyne, Robert K.; Mazza, Jamie
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v32 n1 p19-29 Jan 2007
This article underscores the value of school counselors connecting their group work practice with ecological concepts of context, collaboration, interconnection, social system maintenance, meaning-making, and sustainability (Conyne & Cook, 2004; Conyne, Crowell, & Newmeyer, in press). The authors elaborate ecological group work (Bemak & Conyne, 2004) applied to the schools and in keeping with the ASCA national model, highlighting five successively complex levels of ecological group work involvement: (1) Student Group Level, (2) Classroom Group Level, (3) School Personnel Role Group Level, (4) Whole System Group Level, and (5) School-Community Group Level.
