True or False: School counselors are not expected to monitor every activity within the school counseling program.

• A. False
• B. Cannot be determined
• C. Sometimes
• D. True

Answer: (D)

The important idea here is that school counselors are responsible for the overall quality and outcomes of the counseling program, not for obsessively watching every single activity. In practice, counselors establish for the program a system of ongoing evaluation—collecting data on delivery of services, student outcomes, and alignment with ethical and professional standards—and use that data to improve the program. This means monitoring at the macro level, through regular reviews, audits, and data-driven checks, rather than micromanaging every individual activity.

That’s why the statement is true. It’s not feasible or expected to monitor every single activity, but it is expected to ensure the program functions effectively and ethically through systemic evaluation and accountability. If you considered other options, they don’t fit the standard approach: monitoring all activities would be impractical, and “cannot be determined” or “sometimes” don’t capture the clear expectation of program-level accountability.
