In which role does the counselor lead and coordinate the School Counseling Program and assist parents in obtaining needed services for their children through student enrollment, transcripts and records, grades, and possible referrals?

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

Answer: (A)

The scenario centers on a counselor taking charge of the School Counseling Program, organizing its activities, and working with families to access needed services by handling student enrollment, transcripts and records, grades, and referrals. This is the coordination role because it emphasizes program leadership, system coordination, and ensuring that services and information flow smoothly through the school and to families. The counseling role, in contrast, focuses on directly providing individual or group support to students. The consultation role involves advising teachers, parents, and staff on how to support students, without necessarily leading the entire program. The assessment role centers on evaluating students’ needs through tests and data collection, not on organizing the program or managing records and referrals. So the best-fit description is coordinating the School Counseling Program.
