It also seeks to address that sense of geographic and professional
isolation that many school counselors face.
ICOUNSEL is a moderated list, with all messages screened for subject
appropriateness. List members are asked to remove identifying information
before posting any messages governed by confidentiality guidelines.
PARTICIPATION ON THE LIST
ICOUNSEL is being developed and implemented as part of a research project
for a Master of Education Degree. A letter of information will be provided
to all subscribers outlining details of the research project. If you decide
to become a participating member of ICOUNSEL, you will be asked to send a
letter of consent to the listowner agreeing to be interviewed twice (by
private email) regarding your experience in the group.
