ASCA recommends a student to counselor ratio of 250 to 1 to better support direct service delivery. However, some school counselors may be assigned to larger caseloads. What data-informed decisions supported by ASCA templates/resources might help you to advocate for an appropriate number of students in your caseload?

To advocate for an appropriate caseload size, use data to compare the current student-to-counselor ratio with ASCA's recommendation. Conduct a needs assessment of your students, track service delivery data, and analyze student outcomes. Present the evidence in an advocacy report and engage stakeholders. Make policy recommendations based on the data to support effective student counseling.
