When school counselors use the results of their program assessments to improve a process in their schools, they are doing which of the following?

  1. Demonstrating leadership and advocacy

  2. Enacting systemic change

  3. Modeling ethical standards

  4. Defining a professional foundation

The correct answer is: Enacting systemic change

By using program assessments to improve a process in their schools, school counselors are actively making changes to the overall system in their school. This goes beyond just demonstrating leadership and advocating for change, which are important but passive roles. Using assessments to enact change shows that counselors are taking an active and proactive approach to bettering their school. Modeling ethical standards and defining a professional foundation are not directly related to using assessments to improve a process, making choices A and D incorrect.
