Dear School Counselor,
You are invited to participate in a national research study examining how licensed school counselors who serve as site supervisors understand and use artificial intelligence (AI) in their school counseling practice and their work with school counselors-in-training. This study is part of an IRB-approved project [IRB-FY2026-426] led by researchers at Ball State University and the New York Institute of Technology.
You are eligible to participate if you are a currently licensed or certified professional school counselor in the United States, you have three or more years of experience as a licensed school counselor, and you have previous experience as a school counseling site supervisor.
The online survey is anonymous and voluntary and takes approximately 13 to 15 minutes. It includes background questions, rating-scale items, and a few optional open-ended questions. No identifying information is collected, and you may skip any question or stop at any time. Your perspectives will help inform school counselor preparation programs, field-based supervision practices, and professional development related to the ethical and effective use of AI in school counseling.
