O.S.C.A.R (Oklahoma School Counseling Accountability
Report)
The O.S.C.A.R is a continuous improvement tool that gives a school counselor
an opportunity to demonstrate effective communication and a commitment to
getting results in their counseling program. The need for greater accountability
in school counseling practice is widely accepted within the profession. Results
indicate that participation led to an increased use of student outcomes data for
program improvement, and increased awareness about student support
programs among stakeholders. Apply to receive an O.S.C.A.R. for your school
counseling program.
