-varying perception about college counseling role in elementary vs. high school
-there was a K-12 college awareness gap
-elem. & middle school counselors use data to identify barriers that impede student success, but not to increase college and career readiness
-school counselors at all levels who participated in prof. dev. were more likely to use data to identify barriers to student success
-there is a gap between using what they learned back at schools. maybe need more support from supervisors or administrators? 
-high school counselors use less small groups or larger classroom lessons. most common reason: lack of time
-counselors with less than 2 years experience use technology/surveys

thoughts:
-most of this does not come as a surprise
-when should counselors start talking about college & career readiness?

lack of K-12 comprehensive program mindset (elementary counselors did not view college readiness in their scope)

counselors collect data but do not analyze it effectively - good first step but need to complete the process

PD and school readiness programs are helpful for data use preparation

great at identifying gaps but then not sure what to do from there

high school counselors spend less time in small group/larger classroom guidance - time constraints? 

interesting - counselors with less than 2 yrs experience created surveys at higher frequency - use more technology too - CACREP?
