Obstacles and Successes in Implementing the ASCA National Model in Schools.

Researchers surveyed CACREP school counseling program graduates from a southeastern university to explore successes and barriers in implementing a comprehensive, developmental school counseling program. Findings included significant differences across school levels in programmatic change (p < .001) and responsive services (p = .041). Furthermore, primary/elementary school counselors were significantly different from middle and high school counselors in conducting more guidance lessons and collecting enumerative data (p < .01).
