Brittnee_Inman1 https://padlet.com/daujoule94/ASCAFinalProject/wish/353724412  Comprehensive school counseling programs (CSCP) are a collaborative effort between many stakeholders. The school counselor, along with parents, community members and other educators seek to create an environment that will result in a positive impact on student achievement. 
A CSCP plays an integral part in a school's mission, and when driven by student data and the ASCA National Model:
• ensures equitable access to a rigorous education for all students
• identifies the knowledge and skills all students will acquire as a result of the K–12 comprehensive school counseling program 
• is delivered to all students in a systematic fashion 
• is based on data-driven decision making 
• is provided by a state-credentialed school counselor

It is a process that formally begins when a child enters school. School counselors help individual students create personal and academic goals as well as to develop career planning. Students are then able to evaluate these goals through individual or small-group appraisal and advisement.

Responsive services are intended to help students with obstacles that are hindering their healthy academic, career and personal/social progress. 

Some issues students face includes child abuse, cultural diversity, dropping out of school, educational choices, family loss, relationships, school attendance, stress, substance abuse, and suicide. As a result, there is continuing need for individual counseling, small-group counseling, consultation, and referral.

Consultation is valuable direct service that School Counselors perform. It is a triadic relationship between the consultant (counselor), the consultee and the client. In a school setting, this service acts on behalf of students to alleviate problems that affect their success in school.  This practice is of extreme importance when considering the diversity of today’s schools. School Counselors must develop this skill to reach out to all students, parents, teachers and other key stakeholders to ensure that systemic solutions to challenging problems are implemented.

Foundation serves as the base for the comprehensive school counseling program. Foundation measures student's attitudes, their knowledge and skills learned through the school counseling program. A strong foundation requires collaboration with all stakeholders.  Collaboration is done to determine the benefit of a school counseling program as a whole.

The foundation component has a purpose to establish the focus of academic, career and personal/social needs of students in the comprehensive school counseling program. Foundation's elements include: the program's focus, student competencies and professional competencies.

Literature from the ASCA websites supports establishing a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) that encompasses prevention, wellness promotion and interventions that increase with intensity based on student need, and that promote close school community collaboration. 

School safety is achieved by effective collaboration among school staff, working together to prevent violence, promote learning and provide ongoing supervision and time to implement programs.

Programs such as Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) provides best practices and employ evidenced-based models with a MTSS.

Buy-in is necessary from all school staff including the Principals, teachers, school counselor, School Resource officer for consistent and proper implementation of safety guidelines set forth by the school.

Student success is important in the comprehensive school counseling program. In order to achieve this, school counseling beliefs are discussed early on. Everyone has beliefs, as they are individual and personal, based off of our backgrounds and experiences. With that being said, "our beliefs drive our behavior." (p. 22)  It is clear to professionals that school counselors’ beliefs about students, stakeholders, and the educational process overall are pertinent to addressing how student's will succeed.

In the development of the CSCP,  a school counseling team is especially important to the foundation of the entire program. Each member is to contribute to the discussion on beliefs. I have created my own examples of belief statements through the elementary school lens:

We believe that a school environment should be positive, safe, and promote a healthy and nurturing environment for elementary school student's as they develop.
We believe that peaceful and positive collaboration can be a beneficial component to gain student success.
We believe that all students can learn, no matter their development level and dynamic.
For example, Belle Morris Elementary School in Knoxville, TN briefly explains their CSCP.

CSCP vision statements focuses on the preferred or desired future of the CSCP.  When discussing these statements, school counselors communicate about what future outcomes they would like to see for the school community. Vision statements stems from the discussion of counselor beliefs. Vision statements become the image of what  outcomes that school counselors hope to see within five to ten years. According to the ASCA (2012), "The vision statement for the school counseling program aligns with the vision of the school and district. It describes not what we are but what we want to become and what life will be like for students, staff, parents and stakeholders from the perspective of the school counselor... It is shaped by how school counselors view the world and reflects what they believe about students, families, teachers and the educational process that drive their ability to support success for all students."  (p. 23)

School Counselors can collaborate with the police department to ensure that CSCP addresses safety effectively.
 “Many parents, community members and school personnel drive near the school on most weekdays. Each driver can contribute to or detract from the safety of the walking and bicycling environment for children”. Education is one of the complementary strategies in a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. Education activities include teaching pedestrian, bicyclist and traffic safety and creating awareness of the benefits and goals of SRTS. (www.saferoutes.org)

This picture is an example of the benefits of School Counselors collaborating with stakeholders such as crossing guards to increase and maintain the safety of children. There is a link that explains that the crossing guard prevented the attempted abduction of an elementary student.
