NGA Standards of Practice (SOP) for Guardianship Practice Test

Guardians should aim to secure appropriate educational and vocational opportunities for the individuals under their care as part of their responsibility to enhance the person's quality of life and promote independence. This approach recognizes that education and work skills are vital components of personal development and can significantly improve a person's overall well-being. By focusing on educational and vocational opportunities, guardians help individuals gain skills that can lead to greater self-sufficiency and a more fulfilling life.

While recreational opportunities, psychological services, and medical care are also important aspects of care, they do not encompass the broader goal of facilitating personal growth and development that educational and vocational opportunities provide. Ensuring that a person has access to learning and employment can empower them and lead to a more satisfying and engaged life. Guardians play a critical role in managing these aspects, ensuring that the person they support can thrive in various areas, including education and work.
