As School Counselors, we are entrusted with the large task of attending to the academic, career and social/emotional growth of every student in our school. This responsibility entails the actions and decision surrounding how we develop, create, execute, and modify our comprehensive school counseling program. Essential to the strength of this process is the use of data to evaluate how we intervene as school counselors. Data provides us with information we need to demonstrate how we are effective as school counselors in our direct and indirect student services.
