Looking for ways to advocate for yourself and your school counseling program?
Check out the following resources:
- The Missouri School Counselor Association has a great little article on practicle ways to advocate.
- If you a member of ASCA you can download past editions of the ASCA magazine. The September/October 2015 edition has some information in it about advocating for your program by using the ASCA model.
- The Arizona School Counselor Association put together an A-Z advocacy toolkit with great ideas to advocate for yourself and your program.
I’m currently reading Trish Hatch’s The Use of Data in School Counseling: Hatching Results for Students, Programs, and the Profession
I’d love to hear how you are advocating for your program. I just finished my first year at my new school and feel that this is an area I want to work on as I grow as a counselor and grow in my position. I hope to implement some of the ideas above. I really like the idea of doing a parent and/or staff newsletter. I am thinking about trying to send one out once a semester this year and then hopefully grow into once a quarter. What are your goals?
Thanks for stopping by!
