Dear School Counseling Colleagues,

For the past two years, the California Association of School Counselors’ Board of Directors, in partnership with educational leaders and school counseling practitioners around the state, have been at work crafting standards of practice for school counselors in California. The California Standards for the School Counseling Profession was created utilizing formal research in school counseling, a variety of policy documents, and the wisdom of practitioners in the field. The standards present a common core of knowledge and performance indicators for the practice of school counseling in California. Our hope is that these standards will link school counseling practices more powerfully to the academic, personal/social, and career development of California pupils, will contribute to the maintenance of accountability within the profession, and will help educational policy makers, school administrators, and counselor supervisors better understand the unique contributions of school counselors to the creation and maintenance of healthy, safe, and productive schools. 

Please take an opportunity to review the Standards and give us feedback. There is a short questionnaire that should take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete. We appreciate your insight and the time it will take to give the CASC Board and Advisory Committee meaningful feedback.
