Assessment Description
The school counselor has various roles within the educational setting and must be responsive to the needs of multiple stakeholders, most importantly, the students. One way that school counselors can assess student needs is by conducting a needs assessment review.
Review the “Student Needs Assessment (Middle School).” In a 750-1,000-word plan, choose one assessment statement from each of the four sections provided in the assessment and:
- Describe the role of the school counselor in academic, career and college planning, and data-based interventions.
- Discuss how a school counselor might address these four assessment statements with the principal.
- Describe the role of the school counselor in developmental, behavioral, or social interventions related to each of the four assessment statements.
- Describe the school counselor’s role in developing student-focused, schoolwide programs using data-based interventions for each of the four statements.
Include three to five scholarly based resources to support your plan.
