Lesson Plans: Call for Submissions

Practicing School Counselors and Graduate Students: ASCA is developing three books of sample lesson plans – one each for elementary, middle and high school counselors. Each book will contain approximately 2–4 lesson plans for each of the 30 behavior standards contained in the ASCA Student Standards. 

Submission requirements:

  • Provide a lesson plan based on the ASCA Lesson Plan Template (aligned with the ASCA National Model® Fifth Edition). View example completed template here.
  • Please note: Only ONE behavior standard from the ASCA Student Standards should be selected per lesson plan and only one–two learning objectives for the standard. You may develop your own learning objectives or select any of the sample learning objectives from Appendix B in “The ASCA National Model®: A Step-by-Step Guide.” 
  • If your lesson plan is selected, you will be asked to record a short (20-30 minute) video presentation that describes the lesson plan and its use to be included as an accompaniment to the final book. 

Deadline: Dec. 21, 2025, at 11:59pm EST.

Submit lesson plans here.
