Abstract

The evidence-based school counseling model calls for school counselors to (a) make data-driven decisions to determine needs, (b) identify research-supported interventions to address the previously determined needs, and (c) evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented interventions. This article offers both a process model and logic model that school counselors can apply to visually represent data-driven school counseling interventions that are designed to meet the needs of students as reflected in school counseling program goals. Further, the logic model assists school counselors in creating a plan to evaluate immediate, proximal, and distal outcomes.
