Reporting program results is only essential to those in the counseling department and do not need to be shared with anyone else.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not at all

Answer: (B)

In educational counseling practice, reporting program results serves multiple stakeholders and is used for accountability and improvement, not just for counselors. Sharing findings helps school leaders allocate resources effectively, informs teachers about what works so they can integrate successful strategies, and keeps families, students (in aggregate form), and boards or funders aware of the program’s impact. While protecting student privacy, results should be communicated in a way that supports transparency and data-driven decisions. Saying that results are only essential to the counseling department ignores the purpose of program evaluation and accountability, so the statement is not correct.
