In the ASCA National Model, which option correctly lists the three domains of service delivery and an example of an activity in each?

• A. Discipline Management (behavior policies); School Climate Surveys (surveys); Parent Involvement (PTA events)
• B. Classroom Management; Student Assessment; Parent Engagement
• C. Guidance Curriculum (lesson plans on study skills); Individual Student Planning (academic/career planning, IEP/504 coordination); Responsive Services (counseling and crisis intervention)
• D. Curriculum Development; Consultations; Scheduling

Answer: (C)

The ASCA National Model organizes school counseling into three service delivery domains: Guidance Curriculum, Individual Student Planning, and Responsive Services. The Guidance Curriculum is the planned instruction delivered to all students on academic, career, and personal/social development. Individual Student Planning involves helping each student with goal setting, academic and career planning, and coordinating services such as IEP/504 plans. Responsive Services are the counseling interventions provided when a student needs immediate help, including crisis response and referrals.

This option fits because it pairs each domain with a representative activity: Guidance Curriculum with lesson plans on study skills, Individual Student Planning with academic and career planning plus IEP/504 coordination, and Responsive Services with counseling and crisis intervention. The other choices mix activities that aren’t the official three domains of service delivery in the ASCA model (for example, discipline policies or scheduling are administrative tasks, and school climate surveys or parent involvement aren’t the three domains themselves).
