implement strategies to increase emotional,
behavioral, and academic excellence.
What that looks like

Advocacy
• When looking for patterns in the school, we
may see areas of improvement.
• We advocate for:
– Students
– Families
– A comprehensive counseling program
What that looks like
• Working with staff to:
– Decrease number of retentions
– Increase enrollment of under-represented
populations in AIG or AP courses
• Working with principal to:
– Allow more direct service in the counselor’s
schedule
How to Support Advocacy

– Annual Agreement
– Closing the Gap plans and results reports
– Advisory Council
– Share data with all stakeholders
Collaboration
• School counselors affect change by
collaborating with stakeholders.
• Almost nothing we do would work in a
vacuum!
What that looks like
• Visibility!
• Attendance in PLCs, Parent Book Club
• Collaboration through Professional
Development
• Co-teaching with a common core foundation
How to Support Collaboration
• Through the National Model
– Curriculum Action Plans & Results
– Annual Agreement
• PLC/Professional Development minutes or
notes
