• A student's basic needs must be met for optimal learning
• School Counselors work collaboratively with teachers, parents, administration, and stakeholders to ensure a student's success
• School Counselors are committed to ongoing professional development
• Our Comprehensive School Counseling Program should be aligned with the American School Counselor Association's [ASCA] National Model (mindsets and behaviors, ethical standards, and data-driven program development)
