The Advocacy Committee strives to keep the Montana school counseling community connected with important legislative news, updates, and announcements that impact the profession. Additionally, the committee assists in providing advocacy tools and information for school counselors to utilize in order to support the school counseling profession.
National Legislation Impacting School Counselors
ASCA’S Legislative Affairs is an excellent resource to keep you updated on the current national legislation and court rulings impacting school counselors and the profession of school counseling.
Position Statements
The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has developed a number of research-based position statements that represent ASCA’s official position on a variety of school related topics. These position statements can be utilized to clarify the role of the school counselor and to inform school counseling practice for school counselors to utilize with parents, administration, and stakeholders. They are also helpful in guiding your communications with school and community stakeholders when you are faced with an ethical dilemma. Currently, there are 52 statements that are updated approximately every five years and are available on the ASCA website.
