Research
Professor Friedman’s current research focuses on school counselors’ use of data in comprehensive school counseling programs. One of the data behaviors she is most interested in exploring is how data is used in schools to recognize and address inequities. Additionally, she is interested in learning about how school counselors utilize data as a form of advocacy to address barriers impeding students’ success. Her hope is that this research will provide valuable information for the preparation of counselors-in-training in using data to inform their practice as counselors. She has also researched adjunct instructors’ experiences with professional gatekeeping. Lastly, her research interests are also impacted by students’ research interests. She has co-presented with students on projects as well as supported their independent projects.
