Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

According to the ASCA National Model, what percent of their time should school counselors dedicate to direct and indirect student services?

1. 100%

2. 90%

3. 80%

4. 70%

The correct answer is: 80%

According to the ASCA National Model, school counselors should dedicate 80% of their time to direct and indirect student services. This means that out of a typical 40-hour work week, 32 hours should be spent working directly or indirectly with students. Option A (100%) is incorrect because school counselors also have administrative responsibilities and other duties that are not directly related to student services. Option B (90%) is also incorrect because it does not leave enough time for non-student services activities. Option D (70%) is incorrect because school counselors are expected to spend a majority of their time working directly with students. Option C is the most accurate and balanced choice according to the ASCA National Model.
