چکیده
Increasingly school counselors are being called upon to demonstrate that they contribute to students’ academic achievement. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) has led to an intense focus on the use of standardized test scores in measuring academic achievement and on educator accountability for producing measurable achievement gains. NCLB also calls for all educators to use interventions that have been demonstrated to be effective through empirically-based research. The ASCA National Model (2003) calls for increased attention to the documentation of impact through “results data” that include standardized measures of achievement.
