Service Categories
are those defined by the ASCA National Model: Responsive Services, Individual
Planning, Guidance/Curriculum, and System Support. In addition, Hallways offers
a “Non-Guidance” category, used for non-guidance activities such as clerical
duties. Service Categories cannot be edited.
From the
ASCA Website:
Responsive Services – Responsive services consist of prevention
and/or intervention activities to meet students’ immediate and
future needs. These needs can be necessitated by events and
conditions in students’ lives and the school climate and culture,
and may require any of the following:
•individual or group counseling
•consultation with parents, teachers and other educators
•referrals to other school support services or community resources
•peer helping
•psycho-education
•intervention and advocacy at the systemic level
Professional school counselors develop confidential relationships
with students to help them resolve and/or cope with problems and
developmental concerns.
Individual Student Planning – Professional school counselors
coordinate ongoing systemic activities designed to help students
establish personal goals and develop future plans.
Guidance/Curriculum – This curriculum consists of structured
lessons designed to help students achieve the desired competencies
and to provide all students with the knowledge and skills
appropriate for their developmental level. The school guidance
curriculum is delivered throughout the school's overall curriculum
and is systematically presented by professional school counselors in
collaboration with other professional educators in K-12 classroom
and group activities.
System Support – System support consists of management
activities establishing, maintaining, and enhancing the total school
counseling program. These activities include professional
development, consultation, collaboration, supervision, program
management and operations. Professional school counselors are
committed to continual personal and professional development and are
proactively involved in professional organizations promoting school
counseling at the local, state and national levels.
