II: Foundation
"School counselors should possess the knowledge, abilities, skills and attitudes necessary to establish the foundations of a school counseling program aligning with the ASCA National Model."
The foundation aspect of the school counseling program provides a basis for which the school counseling program can grow and develop. The foundation is crucial for building the comprehensive school counseling program and is built upon the school counselor personal beliefs about how to address the ways in which students will benefit from the program, school counselor's vision statement for the future, a mission statement that aligns with their schools mission and develop program goals defining how the vision and mission statements will be measured.
