The standards address student development in three broad areas:
Academic Development
The standards provide the direction and the framework for states, school systems and individual schools to develop effective school counseling programs. There are three standards for academic development, career development and personal/social development. These nine standards are followed by a list of student competencies or desired student learning outcomes. These define the specific knowledge, attitudes and skills which students should obtain or demonstrate as a result of participating in a school counseling program. These competencies form a foundation to develop measurable indicators of student performance.
