Foreword
The Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs, Fifth Edition, (Texas Model) is a resource to help students benefit from high-quality and effective comprehensive school counseling programs. It aligns with Texas state law governing the work of school counselors. The Texas Model outlines a process for tailoring school counseling programs to meet the varying needs of students in school districts throughout Texas. With this resource, a school counselor can learn to use campus-specific data to identify the unique needs of a campus and design a comprehensive school counseling program to meet those needs. Recognizing the important roles of the entire educational community--principals, school counselors, teachers and parents--the Texas Model provides examples of how individuals in each of these roles can best contribute to implementation of the four components of comprehensive school counseling programs. The Texas Model also provides a developmental framework for a school counseling program curriculum that includes activities at every grade level to enhance students' educational, career, personal, and social development. School counselors are recognized for their efforts in facilitating student learning and success. The Texas Model is intended to enhance the ability of school counselors to deliver the programs Texas students need to achieve their goals.
