Abstract

This study examined a national sample of school counselors and their ability to implement the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model. Percentage of time spent in noncounseling duties, perceived level of principal support, and principals' knowledge of school counselors' appropriate roles were statistically significant predictor variables for school counselors' ability to implement the ASCA National Model. We discuss implications for the school counseling profession.
