Do you know about....CSCOR?

The Center for School Counseling Outcome Research located at the University of Massachusetts often seems like an overwhelming site to me. But, it does have some great resources that you should know about.

For one, if you're trying to learn more about how to conduct school counseling research or incorporate data into your practice, visit their ppts section: http://www.umass.edu/schoolcounseling/CSCORPowerPoints.htm There you can learn about evidence-based practice, using data to plan intervnetions, and more.

Also, if you're a doctoral student, NOSCA and CSCOR offer a doctoral fellowship program that you might be interested in.

Regardless, it's a site you should know about.

For those of you in Quantitative Methods...

Check out EZAnalyze! EZ analyze provides free, excel based tools that school counselors can download to help them with their data needs. You must have excel to use this product, but it is free and loads right into Excel. Need to disaggregate your data? EZ analyze can do it. Need to calculate a correlation or a regression line? EZ analyze can do that too!
