Core Program Components are Define, Manage, Deliver and Assess.

Define: Three sets of school counseling standards define the school counseling profession. These standards help new and experienced school counselors develop, implement and assess their counseling program to improve student outcomes. These are composed of Student Standards which are ASCA mindsets and behaviors for students success: K-12 college and career readiness for every student. Professional standards include ASCA ethical standards for school counselors and ASCA school counselor professional standards and competencies.

Manage: To be delivered effectively, the school counseling program must be efficiently and effectively managed. Program focus, program domains and planning tools guide the design and implementation of a school counseling program that gets results. Program focus is composed of beliefs, vision statements and mission statements. Program domains incorporate learning to live (social/emotional), learning to learn (academic) and learning to work (career). Program planning includes school data summary, annual student outcome goals, action plans (classroom and group and closing the gap), lesson plans, annual administrative conference, use of time, calendars (annual and weekly) and school counselor advisory council. No more than 20% of a school counselor's time should be spent in program planning and school support activities.

Deliver: School counselors deliver developmentally appropriate activities and services directly to students or indirectly for students as a result of the school counselor's interaction with others. These activities and services help students develop the ASCA mindsets and behaviors for student success and improve their achievement, attendance and discipline. Direct student services are composed of instruction, appraisal and advisement, and counseling. Indirect student services include consultation, collaboration and referrals. A minimum of 80% of a school counselor's time should be spent in direct and indirect student services. The national and state model identifies the appropriate and inappropriate activities for school counselors. School counselors serve all students and activities will provide brief, solution focused strategies and interventions. Time allocations may be adjusted by district or schools when supported by data. For middle school counselors, instruction time allocation is 20-30 percent, appraisal and advisement is 20-30 percent, counseling is 30-40 percent, and indirect on behalf of students is 15-20 percent. Non-school counseling tasks are duties and tasks outside the role of the school counselor and program implementation. Time allocation is 20 percent or less.

Assess: To achieve the best results for students, school counselors regularly assess their program to determine effectiveness, inform improvements to their school counseling program design and delivery and show how students are different as a result of the school counseling program. School counselors also self-assess their own mindsets and behaviors to inform their professional development and annually participate in a state's school counselor performance appraisal with a qualified administrator. Program assessment incorporates school counseling program assessment and annual results reports. School counselor assessment and appraisals includes the ASCA school counselor professional standards and competencies assessment and the school counselor performance appraisal template.
