Which level of student support does the ASCA framework primarily address?

The ASCA (American School Counselor Association) framework primarily addresses the school-wide level of student support because it encompasses a holistic approach to the needs of all students within the school environment. This framework is designed to guide school counselors in developing comprehensive programs that promote academic, career, and social/emotional development for every student, not just select individuals or specific classrooms. By focusing on the school-wide level, the ASCA framework aims to create an inclusive and supportive atmosphere that benefits the entire student body, fostering a positive school climate and improving academic outcomes across whole schools rather than limiting efforts to individual students or isolated instances.
