According to the Texas Model (2018), the guidance curriculum is designed to provide lessons systematically to students that facilitate growth and development in the areas of educational, career, personal, and social development. Because there is a need for students to become advanced critical thinkers, efficient problem solvers, and demonstrate appropriate behavior and disposition, the use of research, technology, and an understanding of student developmental stages is the foundation of comprehensive school counseling programs.
In Texas, four strategic curricular content areas have been identified for the guidance curriculum:
• Intrapersonal Effectiveness
• Interpersonal Effectiveness
• Post-Secondary Education and Career Readiness
• Personal Health and Safety
