Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

According to ASCA, how often should school counselors host advisory council meetings?

1. Only in the fall

2. Two times per year, once in the fall and once in the spring

3. Only at the end of each school year

4. Three times each school year: in the fall, at the beginning of spring, and at the end of the school year

The correct answer is: Two times per year, once in the fall and once in the spring

School counselors should host advisory council meetings at least twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. This is to ensure that the advisory council is staying up-to-date on school issues and providing guidance throughout the school year. Option A is incorrect because only having advisory council meetings in the fall would not provide enough opportunity for the council to provide feedback. Option C is incorrect because only having one meeting at the end of the school year would not allow for enough input on current issues throughout the year. Option D is incorrect because while it includes the recommended fall and spring meetings, it adds an additional meeting at the beginning of spring which is not necessary according to ASCA.
