Printer-friendly version

If all students have access to the rigorous academic opportunities that prepare them for college and career, it will require big changes in the way the way whole systems do business a systemic effort. Counselors play a key role in helping that happen. Learn about one district’s process of using data and action planning to create successful advocacy projects that helped counselors take the lead in identifying and removing achievement barriers in the system. Hear about the exciting results of an aggressive effort of counselors to impact student achievement, improve equity of opportunity to underrepresented subgroups, and ultimately affect key student indicators that lead to accelerated learning.
