The ASCA School Counselor Professional & Competencies Assessment is used to self-assess the school counselor's

• A. Knowledge
• B. Attitudes
• C. Skills
• D. Knowledge, attitudes, skills

Answer: (D)

It evaluates knowledge, attitudes, and skills—a full view of a school counselor’s professional competencies. The ASCA Professional & Competencies Assessment asks you to rate what you know, what you believe and value in practice, and what you can do in counseling, collaboration, leadership, and program management. This holistic self-check helps you identify growth areas, plan targeted professional development, and ensure your work aligns with ASCA standards and ethical guidelines. If you only focused on knowledge, you’d miss how beliefs influence your work; if you only considered attitudes, you’d ignore what you know and can do; if you looked only at skills, you’d overlook foundational knowledge and guiding values.
