...is an integral part of the total educational process; supports goals of the total educational program.

...is not a fragmented, isolated function.

...is a team approach: the counselor is not the counseling program.

...is primarily developmental and preventative in nature but contains a remedial emphasis as well.

...is a planned, sequential program to assist students in healthy development.

...includes a comprehensive set of students goals and competencies independent of the total educational program.

...contains specified program components and specific activities designed to achieve competenceis at each grade level.

...provides for accountability and is evaluated.

...provides consultation and coordination to staff, parents and community to assist in implementation of competencies.
