Having a Starting Point

Getting Started The Audit

Collecting Your Sources of Information

I found out that the best way to start the goal setting

process is to collect all of the information you may need

prior to starting. Some information and sources you

may want to collect are:DFI Reports / RetentionsWESTESTACT Explore / PlanAttendanceGraduation Rates Discipline Reports

Continued• Numbers Taking AP / Dual Credit Classes• Number s Taking ASVAB• Results From Other Previous Surveys• FAFSA Completion Numbers• Self Evaluation

There are many other sources of information and data

that may be available to you that would be helpful.

What Next?What we found to be helpful was to focus on

two areas were we could effect change in at our school:

1. The Counseling Program2. Student Impact

Your goals can be written from these two focus areas

Counseling Program GoalIn collaboration with your Principal and using the program audit, you can evaluate your school’s counseling program and develop a goal from that assessment.One of goals that I am using this year is based on the program audit and Standard 3

Function 3A: PROGRAM RESULTSThe professional school counselor uses data to measure the

results impact of the school counseling program.Indicator 3A1 - Collects Data - The professional school

counselor gathers, analyzes, and uses multiple forms of data (results, process, and perception) to plan and design program improvement.

GoalAt least 95% of all 9th and 10th grade students will complete the school student needs assessment by October 31, 2012.

Responsible Person’s: (Counselor, SS Teachers)Time Frame: (By October 31, 2012)Measure of Success: (Number of Completed

for anyone starting the new counselor evaluation program:1. Review the standards and evaluation guide2. Complete Self Evaluation & Program Audit3. Complete the Three Tier Prevention Model4. Review data from previous school year5. Meet with school administrator 6. Develop at least 2-3 goals (One student

Personal Experience With The New Evaluation

My overall experience has been positive . I like the self

assessment and program evaluation as they are both

good assessment tools. I also like that counselors write

their own goals and now can show documentation of

what we do.

The only piece of the evaluation process that caused me

frustration was the amount of forms and what order they

must be completed.
