8. ASCA Model
Ginny... In the past 10 years school counselors across the nation have been adopting the ASCA model. It has evolved into the ASCA 3.0 model. When we were given the task to do a “Counseling Review” of our program, we turned to this model. The delivery portion of this model has always been a strong component of our program. In looking at this model, we could see we needed to do a lot of work on the base of this model, to include: Foundation, Management, and Accountability.

Ginny... Where do we start? We developed a strategic plan to break down how to start and steps along the way. By the time we were done, we had a three year plan. Now being at the end of the 3 years ... We can say our group has accomplished all of our goals. Do we need to improve and grow? For sure. But we’ve done a lot.
