A certified educator who addresses the needs of students comprehensively through the implementation of a development school counseling program describes which role?

• A. Coordination Role
• B. Consultation Role
• C. Assessment Role
• D. Counseling Role

Answer: (D)

A developmentally based, comprehensive school counseling program is carried out through direct guidance and counseling services that address students’ academic, personal-social, and career needs. The role described is Counseling because it centers on the counselor being the active provider and facilitator of the program—delivering individual and group counseling, leading guidance lessons, and coordinating services to meet the whole student’s development. This goes beyond simply organizing resources (coordination), advising teachers or families (consultation), or assessing needs and outcomes (assessment); it emphasizes implementing and delivering the actual counseling program that supports all students.
