Management – School Counseling Program
Priscilla Council | School Counselor ePortfolio

The management component of the school counseling program ensures that services are organized, intentional, and data-driven to meet the academic, career, and social-emotional needs of all students. This section highlights how the counseling program is developed, implemented, and evaluated in alignment with the ASCA National Model.

Through program management, the school counselor uses data to identify student needs, develop measurable goals, and plan services that support student success. The management system includes the development of annual student outcome goals, counseling action plans, and the use of calendars to organize the delivery of services throughout the school year.

Program implementation is guided by collaboration with school staff, administrators, families, and community stakeholders. An advisory council is used to review program effectiveness, analyze student data, and provide feedback for continuous improvement of counseling services.

Additionally, the counseling program incorporates the use-of-time assessment to ensure the majority of the school counselor’s time is spent providing direct and indirect services to students. Action plans for classroom instruction, small groups, and closing-the-gap initiatives help ensure services are intentional, equitable, and responsive to student needs.

The documents and artifacts included in this section demonstrate how the school counseling program is structured, managed, and evaluated to promote student achievement and well-being while aligning with the standards outlined in the ASCA National Model.
