Delivering programs and supports that impact student growth

School counselors play a critical role in ensuring schools provide a safe, caring environment and that students have the necessary mindsets and behaviors to advance academic achievement outcomes. School counselors deliver programs that have an impact on student growth in three domain areas: academic development, career development, and social / emotional development. Read the American School Counselor Association position statements on the role of the school counselor.

Programs and EventS

The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development as a cornerstone of effective school counseling. ASCA’s position is clear: professional development is essential to staying current with educational trends, refining counseling practices, and ultimately, providing the highest level of support to students. By engaging in continuous learning, you ensure that you are not only meeting professional standards but also paving the way for innovative and impactful counseling programs.
