Classification. Apples and Oranges?
Student and group services.

One of the difficulties in collecting accurate data is consistent classification of events into the appropriate ASCA service delivery domain. We can not emphasis enough the importance of starting with accurate and well classified data. Working with hundreds of school counselors we defined and continue to add over 200 unique topics, each belonging to a unique ASCA service delivery domain. Our glossary includes a description for each topics.

Each event may also associated with student(s) or groups that were included.  This enables detailed student service reporting and analysis.

Data driven analysis.
Statistics and Calculations.

School counselors and directors tell us that the biggest problems they face in following the ASCA National Model, is making sure they have good data and accurate calculations.
SCUTA solves both problem. School counselors and directors can now focus on analyzing their data, improving their performance and on attaining their school’s goals.
SCUTA assigns a color to each of the ASCA ‘s service delivery domain or categories. Clear color coded analysis conveys your story to principals, teachers, parents and school boards.

Pareto Analysis (80/20 rule).
Insightful Statistics.

Pareto Analysis, is a statistical technique that identifies the most significant items in an analysis. A major component of the ASCA National Model and RAMP is making sure that school counselors allocate their time appropriately. In this report we review all topics, the time a school counselor allocates to each topic, the frequency and their percent distribution . Topics are then listed in descending significance and color coded to indicate 50 and 75 percentiles.

What it boils down to is that we show school counselors real data regarding their time allocation. This is pivotal in achieving compliance with the ASCA National Model.
