The study in this article provided principals with different types of information
about professional school counseling and examined the impact on their
perceptions. Results demonstrated that information about the ASCA National
Model® influenced principals’ perceptions of the amount of time
counselors should allocate to delivery of the guidance curriculum, system
support, and responsive services, as well as ratings of the importance of
performing inappropriate tasks in meeting the education mission of the
school.
