Which are the three domains of the Comprehensive Developmental Model?

• A. Planning, Responsive Services, Counseling Curriculum
• B. System Support, Foundation, Delivery
• C. Coordination, Collaboration, Curriculum
• D. Assessment, Advocacy, Evaluation

Answer: (A)

The three domains of the Comprehensive Developmental Model are Counseling Curriculum, Individual Planning, and Responsive Services. This model organizes school counseling around proactive, student-centered experiences that together support all aspects of a student’s development.

Counseling Curriculum is the planned, classroom-based instruction that provides every student with essential guidance on academic skills, social-emotional learning, decision making, and college or career exploration. It’s about prevention and universal education—reaching all students through structured lessons and activities.

Individual Planning focuses on helping each student set goals and map out steps to reach them. This domain involves guiding students through academic planning, course selection, and postsecondary preparation, with ongoing support tailored to the individual.

Responsive Services addresses students’ immediate needs through counseling support, individual or small-group sessions, crisis response, and referrals. It ensures that resources are available to help students address personal, social, or environmental barriers to learning.

The other option choices describe different aspects or frameworks of school counseling programs, such as system-wide support or accountability-focused elements, but they do not represent the three domains of this developmental model.
