This monograph is designed to assist individual schools to plan for, organize, implement, and manage their own elementary school guidance programs. Those school districts supporting a centralized team planning approach to program development will also find the monograph useful, but may wish to adapt some of the suggestions to fit their own organizational structures. For those school districts already having elementary school guidance, the monograph can be of assistance in providing suggestions for program review, reorganization if it is desired, expansion, and evaluation. And to the guidance counselors themselves, who often have the primary responsibility of insuring for an effective guidance program, the monograph will surely prove to be a useful resource. Chapters deal with all aspects of guidance program development, including needs assessment, planning and organization, program implementation, and program evaluation. (Author)
