Introduction
As a school counselor, you will be expected to collaborate with administrators, teachers, parents/guardians, and other stakeholders to promote a college- and career-going culture and provide support to all students. For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to provide education about career theory, models, and frameworks of career development as part of an in-service training to faculty. Additionally, you will articulate the various roles of the school counselor based on the ASCA National Model, ASCA’s Mindsets and Behaviors, and NOSCA’s Eight Components of College and Career Readiness.
Please note that the purpose of this assignment is to teach others about college and career readiness and about the role of the school counselor rather than on identifying specific interventions, approaches, or techniques.
Instructions
For this assignment, imagine that you are a first-year school counselor who has the opportunity to promote the college- and career-going culture of your school. Refer to the media activity, Blooming Park: College and Career Readiness (linked in Resources) for the information you will need to complete this assignment. Note: Choose one Blooming Park school—the elementary, middle, or high school.
During a meeting with your principal, you reviewed school data and the results from a recent needs assessment that clearly identified a lack of knowledge, collaboration, and stakeholder support related to college and career readiness. Based on the assessment data and your role as a school counselor, you immediately recognized the need for increased consultation with colleagues to promote equity in college access and career readiness for all students. Your principal enthusiastically agreed to give you 15 minutes to present during an upcoming faculty in-service. As a school counselor, you are excited to teach your colleagues about career development theory and models of P–12 comprehensive career development to promote the college and career going culture of your school!
Develop a PowerPoint presentation to disseminate essential college- and career-readiness information to your faculty colleagues. While planning your presentation, keep your audience in mind—your colleagues have been trained as educators rather than school counselors. It is important for your presentation to convey your mastery of the subject matter while presenting it in a way that would be easily understood by your colleagues who are not experts in the field.
Before beginning this assignment, review the rubric and resources to ensure that you address the following:
Comprehensive Career Development
What is college and career readiness?
What are current trends in college and career readiness?
Provide a brief overview of major theories of career development, including applicability of the theory to the grade level of the scenario you have chosen (that is, elementary, middle, or high) within the context of school counseling.
What is comprehensive career development and why is it needed?Briefly address the ASCA National Model, ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors for Student Success, and NOSCA’s Eight Components of College and Career Readiness and Behaviors.
How would you describe the career development needs of students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels?Be brief and concise but provide enough information for faculty to understand the need for P–12 comprehensive career development.
You may also want to emphasize the developmental level of the students at your chosen school level.
What are the legal and ethical considerations specific to school counseling for college and career readiness?Be sure to address the impact from federal, state, and local legislature and government policies on college and career readiness.
For the state portion, focus on the state in which you intend to become credentialed upon completion of the program.
Roles and Services
What is the role of the school counselor in relation to college and career readiness?Note: Review the ASCA National Model, ASCA Mindsets and Behaviors for Student Success, and NOSCA’s 8 Components of College and Career Readiness.
What is the role of the school counselor in consultation with postsecondary school personnel?
What are some practical strategies for faculty to promote college and career readiness for all students by engaging in efforts to increase promotion and graduation rates and to promote equity in student achievement and college access?
How do school counselors plan for and support transitions between schools (elementary, middle, and high school) and the postsecondary transition? Include suggestions for teachers to facilitate school and postsecondary transitions.
Remember to review the rubric criteria carefully before you begin the assignment.
Additional Requirements
Presentation format: 15–20 PowerPoint slides plus a title slide and a reference slide. Citations must be included on the PowerPoint slides and corresponding references included on a references slide.
Written communication: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for members of professional communities. Please ensure that your written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA format: Resources and citations should follow current APA style and formattingCollege and Career Readiness
From: Sam Alvarado, Superintendent
Hello,I’m so glad to hear that you’re going to be investigating to degree to which Sylvia Plath High School promotes college and career readiness for all students. Let me give you some insight into this school to help get you started.As you may know, Sylvia Plath High School serves students in the wealthiest neighborhood in Blooming Park, and most parents assume that their children are going to college after graduation. As is the case with many schools that serve wealthier neighborhoods, parents have a strong expectation that the curriculum and the school counseling staff should be orientated to helping their children prepare for admission into the best possible colleges. Because of this, Sylvia Plath has extensive offerings in Advanced Placement courses and other college preparatory coursework while also providing ongoing support for parents and students regarding the college application process.However, despite the resources and interventions already in place, the support is not comprehensive nor does it promote equity in college and career readiness for all students, and it is especially lacking in the area of career readiness. The other high schools in Blooming Park place more of an emphasis on vocational training and community-based programs, such as the new culinary arts program at Brooks High School that’s been very well-received. Fortunately, Plath realizes this is an area of need and is committed to improving based on survey results and feedback from former students who shared that they would have benefitted more from more college and career focused interventions and support than just feeling pressure to go to college.Another districtwide area for growth is the need for strategies to facilitate the postsecondary transition for all students, including students in special education. This is especially a problem at Plath, where some students in special education would be better served by vocational training, yet describe feeling pressured by family members to pursue college. Over the past decade, this district has focused our special education initiatives strongly in the area of inclusion, and there have been significant improvements overall. However, there is a significant need for improved support for students in special education specifically related to their college and career readiness.Fortunately, the principal of Plath High, Spencer Lee, is open to changes when it comes to college and career readiness. However, he tends to be a people pleaser so he may sometimes be too susceptible to the pressure from parents who want him to focus more on preparing students for college rather than on also promoting career readiness. It would be helpful for you to consider strategies to promote college and career readiness for all students by advocating for interventions that will promote equity in college access and career readiness. Helping Spencer understand how all students at Plath High will benefit will significantly increase your chances of being successful with your advocacy efforts.Another point that I’d like to emphasize is that, at all levels of instruction, teachers and counselors sometimes focus too exclusively on one group of students over rather than supporting all students. Depending on the educator, their focus may be on kids with special needs, gifted kids, students of color, or athletes, or girls or boys. Educators aren’t always aware of their biases and other times, they do not see the bias as problematic. As a result, I am hoping that you will help us develop and promote college and career readiness initiatives that are developmentally appropriate, comprehensive, P-12, and promote equity in college and career readiness for all students.I look forward to your recommendations.Warmly,SamInformation about Sylvia Plath High School

“Athough the elephant, the whale and homo sapiens appear to be very different from one another, these three wide ranging species share fundamental characteristics They are all long-lived. Their longevity of 60-70 years accounts for their having not only are tar demographic structures, but also an extended period of childhood, in which the individuals have time to form lasting, closely knit families. Elephant social organization has recently been shown to be remarkably similar to that of man; in fact, the entire ecology of the elephant is now seen to be more similar to that of man than to any other animal. Itis therefore not remarkable that man and the elephant are having to face
similar and simultaneous crises like survival.
In Africa today, animal populations are being increasingly confined within limited and unnatural boundaries unnatural in the sense that they are more political than ecological. Within these boundaries, which are no more than sanctified ghettoes, animal populations tend to increase up to- and then beyond – the limits of the food supply. In a world with finite resources, the elephant is second only to man in its capacity to inflict long-term, irreversible damage on its environment reducing the diversity and complexity of the habitat (as well as its own food base) by converting forest and woodland into grassland and desert. Not surprisingly, the elephant is ravaged by many of the same symptoms as man: stress, violence, vandalism, heart disease. Of 2,000 elephants sampled in Murchison Falls National Park in 1966, almost all the mature individuals (age 13-14) were discovered to be suffering from stress-induced diseases of the cardiovascular system. Together, elephant and man are being driven toward the edge of the world.”
