Results indicated that there were significant differences between public and private school principals’ opinions on school counseling priorities, perceptions, academic development, and program management. School type and school-level interactions were significant for career and academic development and marginally significant for personal–social development. School level had also significant main effects on personal–social, career, and academic developments. These results may be of value to school leaders and educators concerned with improving student achievement and school effectiveness through revising and improving their school counseling services. © 2017 SAGE Publications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessacademiccareerdevelopmentprincipal–counselor collaborationsocial-emotionalArticleQ3262176201
