Part A-Our text states that the ASCA National Model focus has “shifted from the services provided by school counselors to viewing school counseling as an integral program that supports, but is also distinct from the school’s academic curriculum” (p. 7). Read the assigned chapters in our textbook, the ASCA National Model (2019), and the section on appropriate and inappropriate activities for school counselors.
Discuss why it is important that the school counselor’s role go beyond academics and be considered distinct. Additionally, examine how this separation may or may not be consistent with your experience with school counselors. This discussion is not meant to be and should not be a critique of any one school’s program but an understanding of the intent of the ASCA National Model. Cite your textbook as well as the ASCA National Model (2019).
. Initial posts are to be at least 250 words in length and well-written using proper grammar.
