The Program Development and Accountability Model as presented here is a must read for Graduate Students in Counseling programs, Guidance Department Managers and Counselors who are now working at a Middle School, High School or a Community College. This How To Manual clearly describes a Comprehensive Accountability System that will assess/ identify student/parent needs and evaluate Counselors efforts in the Educational, Career and Social/Personal Domains. I highly recommend this book for those professionals who feel a need to implement this excellent "Needs Based" Accountability System.
