2008-2009 Redesigning School Counseling (Indiana Gold Star) Workshop Series

The American Student Achievement Institute (ASAI) is pleased to provide counselors, teachers, parents, and community members with resources and technical assistance as they design and implement student guidance initiatives to help ALL student master defined student standards and indicators in the areas of academic, career, and citizenship development.  The goal of the Redesigning School Counseling initiative is for EVERY student to have:

  1. a personal vision of his or her future that includes postsecondary eduction; employment in a high-skill, high-wage career within a global economy; and responsible citizenry,
  2. a working knowledge of the steps required to move toward that vision,
  3. access to a rigorous K-12 curriculum and engaging instruction, and
  4. an adult mentor who holds high expectations for the student and provides academic and career guidance on a regular basis.

Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Workshop Series:  ASAI is pleased to provide Indiana schools with the resources and technical support they need to successfully design and implement a school counseling program that addresses the needs of the community's students and meets the Indiana Program Standards for School Counseling.  Schools participating in ASAI's Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Workshop Series will be prepared to submit a School Counseling Portfolio to the Indiana Department of Education for the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Award.  Schools that receive this Indiana award are automatically eligible for the national Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) Award presented by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA).

Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Video Series:  ASAI has partnered with the Indiana Department of Education to offer the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Video Series.  This seven-part workshop series enables school counselors to facilitate seven meetings with a local School Counseling Advisory Committee for the purpose of redesigning the school counseling program. Schools that participate in the video series will also prepare a Gold Star School Counseling Portfolio and will be eligible for the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling and Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) Awards.

Schools Outside Indiana:  The Gold Star School Counseling Workshop Series was designed to be easily adapted to school counseling initiatives in other states or individual school districts outside of Indiana who are seeking the ASCA Recognized Model Program Award.
