ASCA National Standards for Students

The ASCA National Standards for Students are a set of guidelines developed by the American School Counselor Association to ensure that all students receive comprehensive school counseling services. These standards focus on areas such as academic development, career exploration, and personal/social growth. They help counselors provide support that enhances student learning and success, ensuring that students acquire essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for lifelong achievement. The standards serve as a framework for counselors to create programs that meet the diverse needs of all students, promoting their overall well-being and readiness for future challenges.
