Proposals to reauthorize No Child Left Behind, reform high schools, and improve college access will be incomplete without crafting a greater role for school counselors, according to the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC).
Accordingly, members of NACAC, who are attending the association's 25th annual legislative conference in Washington, March 4-7, are unveiling a legislative proposal to boost support for school counselors in high-need schools on Capitol Hill this week.
California (Assembly Bill 1802, 2006) and Pennsylvania (Project 720) have recently enacted legislation increasing the number of counselors and strengthening their role in boosting academic achievement and college access.
"Congress can accomplish these goals through a combination of increased support for existing programs and a bit of innovation in through NCLB and the Higher Education Act," Hoganson noted.
The association is committed to maintaining high standards that foster ethical and social responsibility among those involved in the transition process, as outlined in the NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice.
We provide direct, immediate access to mainstream national media for 600 colleges, universities, medical centers, public-policy groups and other leading nonprofit organizations.
