To identify the most effective activities and interventions, which data source should a school counselor review after their first year?

  1. Annual results report

  2. School data profile

  3. School counselor standards and competencies assessment

  4. School counselor performance appraisal

The correct answer is: Annual results report

A report regarding the annual results is the most valuable for the school counselor to review after the first year. Options B, C and D may also provide insight, but they are not the most relevant or comprehensive source of information. The school data profile may only focus on specific academic data and may not capture all aspects of the counselor's role. The standards and competencies assessment and performance appraisal are both subjective evaluations and may not fully reflect the counselor's effectiveness in their role. In contrast, the annual results report typically includes data on a variety of student outcomes and can provide a comprehensive understanding of the counselor's impact on the school community.
