The Indiana Department of Education recently convened a task force to identify essential values and to determine how these values can be successfully infused into school curricula. Accordingly, in collaboration with the Indiana School Counselors Association (ISCA), the Department established a working committee to construct a developmentally oriented comprehensive school counseling program for Indiana schools. This introductory packet for school administrators begins by stating the assumptions, rationale, and benefits of the Indiana State Plan for Developmental School Counseling, which consists of competencies which fall into three general categories: (1) the personal-social domain, "Learning to Live;" (2) the educational domain, "Learning to Learn;" and (3) the career development domain, "Learning to Work." The second section addresses costs for program and personnel, providing budgets and pie charts for time distribution and costs at the elementary, middle school/junior high, and high school. The third section briefly discusses the administrator's role in developmental school counseling, while the final section provides a series of distribution tables and graphics comparing developmental school counseling to traditional counseling, and highlighting the structure, resources, and suggested local district processes in the comprehensive guidance program. Appended are suggested job descriptions, the Indiana State Board of Education mandate, and a bibliography. (TE)
