To identify the perceived counseling and guidance needs of students as expressed by students, teachers, and administrators, a project was conducted to develop and field-test a set of needs appraisal instruments which would objectively determine the counseling and guidance needs for elementary, junior high, and secondary schools in Louisiana and arrange them in priority order for individual schools. Development of the instruments involved research on instruments used in other states, format and item selection, consultation with a jury of counseling and guidance experts, field testing and revision. The instruments were implemented in schools within four selected parishes. A list of priorities was produced for each participating school, parish, planning region, and the combined statewide data. The following conclusions were made: The instruments developed can be used to assess the student counseling and guidance needs on an individual school basis and to identify unmet needs of students based on sexual and racial differences; and the perceived guidance and counseling needs of students as expressed by students tend to differ from those expressed by teachers while students and parents in general tend to agree.
