School-based consultation is going through a period of dramatic change. Demands for efficiency and effectiveness on the part of policy-making bodies, changing approaches to teacher preparation, escalating community pressures, and a rapidly changing work forcewill have a major impact on consultation in school settings. For example, there will be increasing demands for problem-based, long-term efforts as well as for the training of organizational participants as internal consultants.
