Getting Started
The Audit
Collecting Your Sources of
Information
I found out that the best way to start the goal setting
process is to collect all of the information you may need
prior to starting. Some information and sources you
may want to collect are:
 DFI Reports / Retentions
 WESTEST
 ACT Explore / Plan
 Attendance
 Graduation Rates
 Discipline Reports
Continued
• Numbers Taking AP / Dual Credit Classes
• Number s Taking ASVAB
• Results From Other Previous Surveys
• FAFSA Completion Numbers
• Self Evaluation
There are many other sources of information and data
that may be available to you that would be helpful.
What Next?
What we found to be helpful was to focus on two areas
were we could effect change in at our school:
The Counseling Program
2. Student Impact
1.
Your goals can be written from these two focus areas
Counseling Program Goal
In collaboration with your Principal and using the
program audit, you can evaluate your school’s counseling
program and develop a goal from that assessment.
One of goals that I am using this year is based on the
program audit and Standard 3
 Function 3A: PROGRAM RESULTS
 The professional school counselor uses data to measure the
results impact of the school counseling program.
 Indicator 3A1 - Collects Data - The professional school
counselor gathers, analyzes, and uses multiple forms of
data (results, process, and perception) to plan and design
program improvement.
Goal
At least 95% of all 9th and 10th grade students will
complete the school student needs assessment by
October 31, 2012.
Responsible Person’s: (Counselor, SS Teachers)
Time Frame: (By October 31, 2012)
Measure of Success: (Number of Completed Surveys)
Evaluation Cheat Sheet
These are just a few suggestions I would have for anyone
starting the new counselor evaluation program:
1. Review the standards and evaluation guide
2. Complete Self Evaluation & Program Audit
3. Complete the Three Tier Prevention Model
4. Review data from previous school year
5. Meet with school administrator
6. Develop at least 2-3 goals (One student impact,
others can be program related) & create work plan

Personal Experience With The New
Evaluation
My overall experience has been positive . I like the self
assessment and program evaluation as they are both
good assessment tools. I also like that counselors write
their own goals and now can show documentation of
what we do.
The only piece of the evaluation process that caused me
frustration was the amount of forms and what order they
must be completed.
