MANAGE
The MANAGE component of the ASCA National Model consists of program focus and program planning tools that are designed to ensure that the school counseling program is implemented effectively.
USE OF TIME
The American School Counselor Association recommends that school counselors spend at most 20% of their time engaging in school support activities and program planning. At least 80% of a school counselor's time should be comprised of indirect and direct services. According to the ASCA National Model, to ensure that the school counseling program is comprehensive, a use of time calculator can be used twice per year to assess whether or not the 80/20 ratio is being met.
