ASCA National Model
 
The Four Quadrants
 
Foundation

  • School counselors create comprehensive school counseling programs that focus on student outcomes, teach student competencies and are delivered with identified professional competencies.

 
Delivery

  • School counselors provide services to students, parents, school staff and the community in the following areas:

    • Direct student services

    • School counseling core cirriculum

    • Individual student planning

    • Responsive services

    • Indirect Student Services

 
Management

  • School Counselors incoprorate organizational assessments and tools that are concrete, clearly delineated, and reflective of the school's needs.

 
Accountability

  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of the school counseling program in measurable terms, school counselors analyze school and school counseling program data to determine how students are different as a result of the school counseling program.
