Many educational models emphasize that best instructional practices are effective when working collaboratively with stakeholders. Professional learning communities focus on learning, collaborative endeavors, and shared accountability. The purpose of this article is to introduce an effectual framework for developing school counselor instructional leadership through the implementation of school counselor collaborative teams. The authors highlight the combined impact of intentional collaborative school counseling and instructional best practices. Four types of collaborative configurations and a school example are presented to illustrate the framework.
Keywords leadership, collaboration, school counselors
