This publication was developed to assist school administrations, teachers, counselors, parents and others who are interested in developing guidance programs which meet the needs of adolescents particularly at the senior high school level. It describes the practices, procedures, and forms that Oregon school districts have found to be most useful in implementing coordinated guidance and counseling programs. Part I is a philosophy statement and includes the standards for the guidance and counseling program. Counseling and guidance programs are seen as integral to the total educational process and should be developmental in nature. All children should be included rather than just those who seek out the counselor. Part II is a detailed assessment and planning instrument which covers needs assessment, approved guidance and counseling activities, responsibility of each school, and evaluation. Part III is an overview of career development in Oregon. Extensive appendices account for over one half of the document and enable the district and/or high school to implement the career guidance activities required by Oregon Administrative Rule. (JBJ)
