Which of the following is not one of the major activities of school counselors within the DAP delivery model?

• A. Supervision Activities
• B. Direct Services
• C. Group Counseling
• D. Individual Counseling

Answer: (A)

In the DAP delivery model, the counselor’s work is organized around services that reach students directly or support them indirectly, with the emphasis on guiding students through developmentally appropriate activities. Direct services are the core means of helping students and include working with individuals one-on-one and with groups of students. Group counseling is a form of direct service because it involves actively guiding a small group through issues or goals, while individual counseling focuses on the needs of a single student. These are the primary ways counselors deliver guidance and support to students.

Supervision activities, while important to the professional functioning of the counseling program, are about overseeing staff, interns, and program quality rather than delivering student guidance. They fall into the realm of program management or professional responsibilities rather than student-facing services.
