Counselor Performance Evaluation

School counselor performance standards align with the ASCA National Model and contain basic standards of practice expected from counselors. Personnel delivering the school counseling program are evaluated in the areas of program implementation, program evaluation and professionalism. It is suggested that school counselors and administrators work within their individual systems to design appropriate evaluation and/or appraisal tools that meet their district governing board and bargaining unit policies. An evaluation should include individual comments as well as a rating system for how well the school counselor is meeting required performance standards.

 

The school counselor standards are: (Appendix AS-3)

 Standard 1: Program Organization

Standard 2: School Guidance Curriculum Delivered to All Students

Standard 3: Individual Student Planning

Standard 4: Responsive Services

Standard 5: Systems Support

Standard 6: School Counselor/Administrator Agreement

Standard 7: Use of Data

Standard 8: Student Monitoring

Standard 9: Master Calendar/Time

Standard 10: Results Evaluation

Standard 11: Program Audit

Standard 12: Advisory Council

Standard 13: Infusing Themes

Although used for performance evaluation, the standards are also an important tool in the school counselor's own self-reflection and will help focus personal and professional development plans.
