Oregon’s Framework for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs

 

Oregon’s Framework for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs has been developed to provide a coherent guide for school districts, linking school improvement efforts and the program goals and content. The Framework assists districts in evaluating current programs and organizing improvement efforts of their programs based upon research and best practices. Comprehensive school counseling programs serve an integral role in schools and are a required element of the district and school system, essential in achieving a common goal - the growth and development of each and every student in Oregon.
