The ASCA National Model: A Framework for School Counseling Programs, 3rd Edition

I like the ASCA book. Prefered the 2nd edition where the percentages of time were given in terms of time allocation for the various tasks. Putting indirect and direct services together for 80 % can present problems for counselors who want to work directly with students through classroom counseling, group and individual sessions. There are always numerous committes in schools and administrators looking for bodies to serve on them. It would be fairly easy for a school counselor to be very busy and actually see no students due to chairing or being a member of PBIS,SST,RTI,Intervention,Crisis,Equity,EC,and the list goes on and on and on. Please ASCA bring the % back in your 4th edition and deliniate between direct and indirect so school counselors won't be assigned to largely administrative/paperwork tasks withion the schools.

I am well pleased by the information in this book. I just started back to school to complete the end of my program and it is coming in handy. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the school counselling profession or any emerging student. I think what surprised me most was the fact that inside the first page or so it shows you how to write your citation for this book in your APA or MLA paper...how nice! Again, worth every bit of my money and I would not resell as it will be good for future reference.

Good information

Bought this book for a class that I'm taking. Very insightful. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone in the school counseling profession
