The California Association of School Counselors (CASC) is proud to announce the official release this week of: California Results-Based School Counseling and Student Support Guidelines, 2007
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/cg/re/documents/counselguidelines.pdf published by the California Department of Education Counseling, Student Support, and Service-Learning Office Learning Support and Partnerships Division
A sincere thanks goes to the Project Manager for the California Department of Education Staff and CASC President-Elect, George Montgomery for his dedicated work with a Strategic Advisory Group to complete and publish this document. This is another proud moment in the field of school counseling and represents an additional step in the recognition of school counselors and student support personnel as professionals who contribute to the academic success of students throughout California. The last document to address California school counselors in this capacity was published 25 years ago and was referred to as the "Tomato Document" due to the color of the cover.
An excerpt from the Guidelines:
"In response to standards-based school reform, and in part to a commitment to ensure equal access to quality teaching and rich curriculum for all students, school counseling and student support services should play a more prominent and proactive role in the academic development of all students."
