This manual provides a series of assessment instruments that guidance program planners may adopt or adapt to provide a basis for defining the guidance program, educating others about the program, or planning needed program changes. The assessment procedures are designed to gather information about students' needs and progress from the students, the parents, and school personnel. Part 1 of the manual contains instruments for assessing: (1) the overall guidance program, i.e., advice areas (students' need for help), the helping processes (student and parent forms), and classroom environment; (2) guidance program functions and factors, e.g., individual and group counseling, resource coordination and development, and guidance curriculum (teacher and counselor forms); and (3) guidance program needs and progress (student and parent forms). Each section includes directions for administration and scoring of the instruments. Part 2, using the same organization and format, contains the assessment instruments designed for use at the secondary level. (MCF)
