Using the intermediate, middle, and elementary assessment examples that you reviewed in the unit readings, write one paragraph for a specific school level, describing what you recognize as a need and how you can address it. This is an opportunity for creativity. You get to decide which area you would like to address and pretend that it came up in the needs assessment. Think about how you might approach the topic from a strengths-based social justice or coordination role and what you might propose to do as a school counselor.

For example:

I might pretend that in my middle school needs assessment, it became clear that the students really wanted information about study skills. After reflecting on my role as a school counselor, and the possible courses of action, I decide that implementing a schoolwide study-skills curriculum would be additive. Based on the ASCA School Counselor Competencies (Dollarhide & Saginak, 2017, p. 14), I might describe how I would deliver the program (via classroom delivery of the school counseling core curriculum), manage the program (ensuring every student receives the program, integrated into their seventh grade math class based on that week’s math lesson), and how I would monitor and evaluate the program (provide a pre- and post-study skills assessment, and also look at the exam results in the math class pre and post the study skills lesson).
As an aside, I really did this when working as a middle school counselor. The math teacher consulted with me and asked for some help. He thought the students just did not know how to memorize the information. We worked together to create a targeted lesson that would address that math topic, teaching them the study skills. It was effective and the students performed better after learning how to learn.
