Presented by Eric Sparks
Preparing a school or district to implement the ASCA National Model is an important step to successful implementation. This session will present strategies that can be used to create buy-in from principals, district-level administrators and school counselors for the National Model and will share practical implementation tips.
Participants will be able to:
- Create interest among principals and district level administrators in the ASCA National Model.
- Discuss issues such as delivery system and fair-share strategies using language that principals respect and understand.
- Connect the ASCA National Model to school-wide plans and data such as School Improvement Plans and AYP data.
- Use school and district data that is already collected to prioritize a data-driven school counseling program and show school counseling results.
Participants will receive:
- A PowerPoint that can be used to present the ASCA National Model to administrators and school counselors.
- A handout with best practices of implementing the ASCA National Model.
- A handout that will guide school counselors in the process of writing reasonable and measurable school counseling action plans in language that administrators respect and understand.
- A system to divide the ASCA National Model into manageable components for implementation over a 3-5 year period.
- CEU Credits: 0.15 (additional fees may apply)
