“Is This Workshop for Me?”

NEW to the ASCA National Model®?
YES. This is for you.

🤔 I've heard about the ASCA National Model®, but I don't really know where to start.

🤔 We're doing a lot of great things, but I'm not sure we're really following the Model.

🤔 I want to strengthen our school counseling program.

🤔 Someday I'd like to think about RAMP, but we're definitely not there yet.

Sound familiar?

Getting Started with the ASCA National Model® was designed to help you START.

📍 Springfield — September 25
📍 Glen Ellyn — October 2

Spend the day learning, exploring and connecting the Model to your own school counseling program.

In their own words. 💙

Each year, ISCA scholarship applicants share how their school counselors have impacted their lives—and their responses are a powerful reminder of why this work matters.

Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing some of their words and stories as we celebrate the relationships, encouragement, advocacy, and support school counselors provide every day.

Sometimes, a school counselor sees what a student is capable of before they can see it themselves.

This is the impact of school counseling.
