  • Comprehensive guidance and counselling programs and services provide a range of guidance/counselling services from a developmental/preventive focus to a responsive/remedial focus
  • School Division Plans, Student Services Plans, and School Plans include guidance and counselling services and programs. Plans for a comprehensive guidance and counselling program include provisions for regular, systematic identification of needs and priorities, specification of expected outcomes, descriptions of activities, and identification of success indicators. Guidance programs and services should be evaluated on a regular basis.
  • The provision of comprehensive guidance and counselling programs and services is the shared responsibility of all staff.
