Nominations Sought for Iowa School Counselor of the Year

Think of a counseling colleague… someone with whom you work, someone from whom you find support, someone whose counseling program supports the ASCA standards, someone who does the extra to support his/her students, someone who makes a true difference and is a credit to the school counseling profession. Doesn’t this individual deserve statewide recognition by his/her peers?

Then take a few minutes and nominate a fellow counselor by submitting an application for an Iowa School Counselor of the Year Award. Your nominee must be a current member of ISCA as of October 1, 2011. Here are the steps:

1. Write a letter of recommendation and include the award category (elementary; middle school/junior high; high school or multilevel.)
2. Attach a vita for the nominee.
