Basic Requirements for an Adequate Pupil Personnel Program.

This paper reflects the concern and thinking of a consultant group of counselor educators and State directors of guidance about the requirements for pupil personnel programs needed to accomplish their goals. In the panel deliberations, major areas of concern appeared to be the (1) basic philosophy, (2) assigned responsibility, (3) pupil personnel administrator, (4) operational unit, (5) differential pupil personnel service, (6) staffing ratios of operational units, (7) local and intermediate operational units, (8) program evaluation, (9) role of the State department of education, and (10) curricular opportunities. The presentation concludes by suggesting the need for a few pilot programs to be used as models for evaluating program effectiveness. (Author/JH)
