Which of the following areas are assessed in the ASCA School Counselor Professional Standards & Competencies Assessment?

  1. State testing guidelines

  2. Ethical and legal standards of practice

  3. School improvement plans

  4. District IEP training

The correct answer is: Ethical and legal standards of practice

The ASCA School Counselor Professional Standards & Competencies Assessment primarily assesses the ethical and legal standards of practice for school counselors. This includes topics such as confidentiality, boundary setting, and professional responsibilities. The other options, while important aspects of a school counselor's role, are not directly related to the ASCA assessment. State testing guidelines and school improvement plans are more closely related to a school's curriculum and overall academic goals. District IEP training is a specific type of professional development that may not be applicable to all school counselors.
