Additionally, counselors will annually administer a  school- wide needs assessment to assess the needs of students in relation to the school counseling program standards. A student impact goal could include addressing identified high needs areas through the school counseling program. In this case, a follow-up survey would be utilized to determine if these areas of need have been addressed. Counselors will develop an action plan describing how they will address the goal (e.g. individual student planning, individual or group counseling, career development and post-secondary planning efforts, school-wide student support systems).
