Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

How can school counselors best use technology to manage their programs and activities?

1. Building a school counseling Web site

2. Calculating use of time on a data tracker

3. Counting the number of students who have submitted online counseling requests

4. Implementing a virtual school counseling program

The correct answer is: Calculating use of time on a data tracker

Using a data tracker to calculate the use of time is the best way for school counselors to manage their programs and activities because it allows them to analyze how they are spending their time and make adjustments for effectiveness. Option A, building a school counseling website, may be useful for providing information and resources to students, but it does not directly help with managing programs and activities. Option C, counting the number of students who have submitted online counseling requests, may provide some insight into demand for counseling services, but it does not help with program management. Option D, implementing a virtual school counseling program, may be helpful in expanding reach and accessibility, but it still does not directly address program management. Therefore, option B is the most effective way for school counselors to use technology to manage their programs and activities.
