Which of the following is NOT a component of the school counselor performance appraisal?

The component that is not part of the school counselor performance appraisal is student assessment scores. School counselor performance appraisals focus on various aspects of a counselor’s effectiveness, including the design and implementation of comprehensive school counseling programs, their professional beliefs, and their data-informed activities and interventions.

Performance appraisals are structured to evaluate how counselors contribute to the school environment through their programs and initiatives rather than measuring student success or achievement through direct assessment scores. This distinction is crucial because the aim of the appraisal is to assess the counselor's practices and contributions to the educational setting, not to reflect the academic performance of students, which may be influenced by numerous external factors outside the counselor's control. Thus, student assessment scores do not align with the objectives of the performance appraisal evaluation framework.
