School Counselor's Role

  • School Counselors follow the American School Counselors Association Framework known as the ASCA National Model. School counseling programs provide a positive impact on student achievement, attendance, and discipline.

    The ASCA National Model guides school counselors in developing comprehensive school counseling programs that:

    • are based on data-informed decision making

    • are delivered to all students systemically

    • Include a developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on the mindsets and behaviors standards all students need for postsecondary readiness and success

    • Close achievement and opportunity gaps

    • Result in improved student achievement, attendance, and discipline

  • School Counselors provide direct and indirect student services (counseling services) that support the academic, college and career and social emotional developmental needs of students within the multi-tiered systems of support.

    School Counselors define, manage, deliver, and assess data-driven comprehensive school counseling programs.

    School Counselors advocate, and collaborate with key stakeholders (aka all of YOU) to create a welcoming and safe learning environment for every student.
