2026 TAA Institute Featured Book, ‘Becoming a School Counselor’
Becoming a School Counselor by Patrick R. Mullen highlights the experiences and perspectives of practicing school counselors to provide readers with an in-depth examination of the profession. The book does not attempt to cover the entirety of the field but rather zeroes in on pressing issues and presents them with an honest and balanced viewpoint. Aimed especially at those in the early stages of their career, the narrative parallels a conversation with a seasoned school counselor, blending inspiration with practical challenges inherent in the job.
