Which organization's model is referred to as the National Model?

• A. American Counseling Association
• B. American School Counselor Association
• C. American Psychological Association
• D. American Mental Health Counselors Association

Answer: (B)

The National Model is a framework developed specifically for K-12 school counseling programs to guide how services are delivered and measured. It was created by the American School Counselor Association, making that organization the source of the National Model. The ASCA National Model emphasizes a structured approach with sections like Foundation, Delivery, Management, and Accountability, plus Mindsets and Beliefs and Student Outcomes, all aimed at aligning counseling activities with standards and producing demonstrable student results. The other organizations listed focus on broader or different areas of counseling, such as professional ethics, clinical psychology, or mental health practice, and do not publish a model specifically named the National Model for school counseling.
