The adult school counselor's function is to facilitate interaction between the educational needs of the counseled, his circumstances as he sees them, his goals, and the means to reach them. He must provide sufficient information to the counseled to facilitate his making realistic choices. The Handbook for Community Adult School Counselors, prepared by Los Angeles City Schools' Division of Adult Education offers guidelines for these counselors. It aims to make uniform the services offered in all adult schools. The Handbook focuses on the following topics and their relations to adult counseling: (1) administrative policies, (2) interviews and suggestions for their improvements, (3) testing (uses, types, and limitations), (4) credit evaluation, (5) records (purpose and types), (6) citizenship and visa students, (7) counseling veterans, (8) vocational counseling, (9) graduation requirements for four year adult schools, and (10) use of community agencies as resources.
