Tips . . .Make goals reachable (but challenging)

Lots of people can implement activities to help students reach the goals (e.g. teachers, scout leaders)

Don’t include goals that you can’t reach by the end of next school year.

Goals should form a logical pyramid (guidance & counseling choices achievement).

TASKCreate

one or moreSchool Counseling

Goal Pyramids

TASK 1 - ACHIEVEMENT

Student Achievement GoalsLook at the Student Achievement

Priorities. Given the resources we have, which of these should be GOALS for the

School Counseling Program?

PROGRAM GOALS

TASK 2 – STUDENT CHOICES

Student Choice Goals

What choices do students need to make in order to reach the academic goal in

this pyramid?

Look the Student Choice Priorities List. Do any of these apply?

PROGRAM GOALS

TASK 3 - GUIDANCE

Guidance Goals

What guidance knowledge or skillsdo students need to make

the choices in this pyramid?

Look the Guidance Priorities List. Do any of these apply?

PROGRAM GOALS

NOTE:Schools seeking the Indiana Goal Star School Counseling Award must include ALL of the suggested ASAI guidance indicators as guidance goals (to ensure that you have addressed all of the Indiana Student Standards for Guidance.

Schools seeking the ASCA RAMP Award are not required to include all of the ASAI guidance standards as guidance goals. Schools should include only those ASCA indicators that are part of their goals pyramids.

TASK 4 – COUNSELING

Counseling Goals

What personal or social problem must some students address to make

the choices in this pyramid?

Look the Counseling Priorities List. Do any of these apply?

PROGRAM GOALS

CHECK:Given the resources available, including time, do we have the capacity to implement activities to address all of our guidance and counseling goals?

IF NOT:•Obtain additional resources•Omit guidance / counseling goals

NOTE: If a goals pyramid no longer makes sense because you omitted key guidance / counseling goals, consider omitting student choice and achievement goals too.
