Connecting the National Standards for School Counseling Programs with an Adventure-based Counseling Intervention Lawrence E. Tyson and Kristi Sayers Menear Abstract School counselors can utilize adventure-based counseling techniques to improve and enhance the delivery of their guidance curriculum for students in small or large group guidance. The purpose of this article is to provide a summary of how the National Standards f or School Counseling Programs can provide outcome obj ectives for school counselors and students who participate in adventure-based counseling interventions. Introduction The National Standards f or School Counseling Programs were created in 1997 (Campbell Dahir, 1997). The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) considers the National Standards f or School Counseling Programs to be the essential foundation for the content of school counseling programs. The standards are outcome-based statements of what students should know and be able to do as a result of participating in a comprehensive, developmental school-counseling program and provide a “blue-print” for student development in three areas: (a) academic development, (b) career development, and (c) personal/social development. Three standards for each content area provide guidance and direction for school counselors to develop quality and effective school-counseling programs and intervention activities. Each of the nine standards is associated with a specific list of student competencies and learning outcomes that define the specific attitudes, knowledge, and skills students should obtain or be able to demon- strate as a result of participating in a school-counseling program Correspondence regarding this article should be directed to: Lawrence E.
