5Why We Did What We DidAs an intentional effort to align with district and school goals, we utilized data to drive our decision in the selection of this lesson.
Perception data showed us that many students were hearing the information, but not understanding the entire process.
Many of our students are highly motivated and drive this process.

13ReferenceWhile Studer and Sommers (2000) identified three kinds of accountability for counselors--personnel, program, and results--the focus here is largely on the latter two which involve program effectiveness for improvement and accountability and results evaluation against student achievement or other critical improvement targets.
However, they tend not to measure growth in students over time or many of the key indicators of student growth, maturity, and development that are typically the areas with which counselors have greatest comfort. As well, there are many factors that might affect student achievement including student mobility, management skills, or individual learning styles that are not tracked or measured (Johnson, 1997).
A true picture of student growth, achievement, and educator effectiveness might never emerge. Many of the key outcomes dependent upon school counseling curricula are not measured including social skills, citizenship and productive employment.
