Sort the following activities into the correct categories by dragging each example into the appropriate column. Remember that direct services are counseling services directly with students; indirect services are counseling services for or on behalf of students; and program planning involves activities needed to plan, evaluate, and prepare for a comprehensive school counseling program. Non-counseling school support duties should be limited to a very small percentage of your time as fair-share duties typically shared by school staff.
