BRIEF SUMMARY

A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral component of a school’s mission. Comprehensive school counseling programs are driven by student data, are a collaborative effort between school counselors, families, community-stakeholders and other educators, and create an environment resulting in a positive impact on student achievement.  The American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA) National Model is the most widely recognized model for school counseling programs.

KEY POINTS

  • Comprehensive school counseling programs support and promote student achievement and standardize the measurement of program effectiveness.
  • Programs include a systematic and planned program delivery involving all students and enhance the learning process.

SHARED WISDOM

  • To achieve maximum program effectiveness, ASCA recommends a student-to-school counselor ratio of 250:1.
  • ASCA also recommends that school counselors spend 80% or more of their time in direct and indirect services to students.
  • School Counselors and employee benefits – Counselor Talk Responses (November 2018)
