advocacy: (9) vocational, educational, and career support; (10)

crisis intervention; (11) organizational participation; and (12)documentation. For each of the 12 categories of standards, skillstandard statements describe a set of associated job functions,activity statements describe specific tasks or work activitiesinvolved in that skill area, and performance indicators offer a meansof determining whether the practitioner can actually perform theactivity. Activities to begin the implementation of the standards insecondary and postsecondary educational contexts are described,including the promotion of a nationally recognized "Certificate ofMastery." Appendices include a list of project participants, resultsof a survey of degree-granting higher education institutions in thisfield, and CSHSP attributes needed for effective work. (CR)
