Define component includes which item?

• A. Lesson Plans
• B. Student Standards - Mindsets and Behaviors
• C. Use of Time
• D. Advisory

Answer: (B)

In a school counseling framework, a component is defined by the content standards that guide what students should know and be able to do. The item that best fits this is the Student Standards—Mindsets and Behaviors for Student Success—because these standards establish the actual content and outcomes the guidance curriculum aims to develop in students. Lesson plans, while essential for delivering content, are tools for implementation rather than the defining content of the component. Use of time concerns scheduling and resource allocation, not the core content the component targets. Advisory is a structural element that supports the program, but the standards specify the student outcomes the component seeks to achieve.
