ASCA NATIONAL MODEL

The ASCA National Model guides school counselors in the development of school counseling programs that:

■ are based on data-informed decision making

■ are delivered to all students systematically

■ include a developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on the mindsets and behaviors all students need for postsecondary readiness and success

■ close achievement and opportunity gaps

■ result in improved student achievement, attendance and discipline

​

The framework of the ASCA National Model consists of four components: define, manage, deliver and assess.
