The ASCA School Counselor Professional Standards and Competencies Assessment is based on a school counselor's

  1. attainment of mindsets and behaviors required to best serve students

  2. knowledge of ethical guidelines and the school counseling profession

  3. impact on school services

  4. use of time

The correct answer is: attainment of mindsets and behaviors required to best serve students

The correct answer is A because the ASCA School Counselor Professional Standards and Competencies Assessment evaluates a school counselor's development of mindsets and behaviors that are necessary for effectively supporting students. Option B may be necessary for meeting ethical standards, but it does not fully encompass the assessment's focus on a counselor's overall proficiency. Option C and D may be relevant to a counselor's role in the school, but they are not the primary criteria used for this specific assessment.
