BRIEF SUMMARY
School counseling program resources can be found through professional organizations, such as the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and state-level counselor professional associations, as well as state departments of education. There are also many blogs dedicated to school counseling that provide helpful resources and information for counselors, related to developing and implementing a comprehensive counseling program.
KEY POINTS
- School counseling programs should be an integral part of students’ daily educational environment, and school counselors should be partners in student achievement.
- The ASCA National Model is a framework for a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program
SHARED WISDOM
- Tools used for scheduling student appointments, etc. (from Counselor Talk, February 2018)
- We implemented a new system this school year using Google Forms. We created a link on our webpage to the form for students, parents, etc. to fill out and that populates a spreadsheet that we reference. It’s been great and bonus points for the data it generates too! (Bradley Ogborn, Vigo schools)

- If your school has Naviance, there are some useful time tracking tools in there — specifically related to the journal entries you might make after meeting with students. You’d still have to separately log your time spent in other activities.
