Counselor Academy Registration is Open - Enroll Your Counseling Team Today!

For the past two years, Heartland AEA has offered a Counselor Academy to help schools build, refine and maintain their K-12 school counseling program. The 2019-20 school year will be the last year that the Counselor Academy will be offered at Heartland AEA. If you are interested, please be sure to enroll your counselors as soon as possible. Because the academy addresses barriers and systemic issues, it is strongly recommended that an administrator attend with the K-12 school counseling team. This year is especially important as the new 4th Edition of the ASCA National Model is in place.

Counselor Academy: Refines and Revises Your School Counseling Program

Eleven years ago we offered the first Counselor Academy to help districts write their articulated, sequential school counseling program. The ASCA Model was relatively new at the time and the state legislature was just putting counselors back in the Iowa Code. The Administrative Rule was written to require districts to have a K-12 school counseling program.

A lot has happened since then. The ASCA Model is on its third edition, there are new ASCA standards and education in Iowa has evolved. Using the ASCA Model, the Iowa Framework for School Counseling Programs, the Iowa definition of College and Career Readiness and the MTSS Framework, participants will write, update, refine and implement an ASCA Model for their district/building school counseling program.

Because of the importance and interconnection of this work, an administrator is asked to accompany the counselors for, at a minimum, days 1 and 4. Of course, they are welcome to attend the entire academy.
