What is a data driven school counseling program?
School counselors work with students every day. A counselor’s use-of-time analysis illustrates if their efforts are following the recommended ASCA National Model. Documenting issues, interventions, and activities enables school counselors to review, analyse and plan effectively.
Well documented counseling programs show a focus on student needs, common mission with school and clearly illustrate how their activities benefit their students.
National Model Categories + 192 Tasks
The use-of-time assessment helps school counselors determine how much time they spend in each domain. Time use needs to be accurately classified across schools and within school districts. SCUTA uses the categories proposed by the ASCA National Model and supplements it by categorizing 192 of the tasks commonly performed by school counselors.
