ASCA National Model
As a school counselor, I hold myself to high standards specifically related to planning, assessing, communicating, and managing my students’ future success. I strive to follow the ASCA National Model each day. It is important to uphold a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes equity, encourages all students to engage in rigorous academics, and promotes positive systemic change in the school environment. I strive to reach those goals daily as evidenced by my interactions with the students, collaboration with fellow counselors, teachers, administrators, and parents, and intentionality to close achievement gaps through use of various interventions, individually and within the classroom environment.
