The school counseling profession has taken an intentional approach to
establishing appropriate counselor roles. Research has resulted in the creation of
numerous instruments designed to investigate school counselors’ beliefs,
attitudes, and behaviors related to comprehensive program delivery. The authors
conducted a literature review and identified 10 assessments that were developed
from 2005 to 2011 following the introduction of the ASCA National Model
(2003). An overview of the assessments, along with the strengths and weaknesses
of each instrument, is presented. An examination of the instruments leads to
specific suggestions that may inform and guide future inquiry for school
counseling researchers.
