Ramping Up For School Counselor Evaluations
Shirley Redcay Virginia (Jenny) Watson Room: Demens The 12 components of the Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) can help you build a school counseling program at your site that will enable you to achieve your best on your school counselor evaluation. Activities such as creating a mission statement, a yearly calendar, and a management agreement with administration can prepare you for evaluation success. Developing a data-driven program and using data to show the results can clearly portray during evaluation how students are different because of your school counseling program. Setting up an Advisory Council of stakeholders and leveraging their strengths to support the school counseling program multiplies your effectiveness and gives you invaluable opportunities to promote your program. Participants will learn how to implement each RAMP component and complete a RAMP application by examining key elements such as Philosophy, Mission and Goal Statements; Management Agreements; Calendars and Results Reports. Bonus: National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification for school counselors is also based on the ASCA model. This session will include information helpful to those interested in obtaining this credential. To get the most out of this session, it would be helpful if you bring a copy of your districts school counselor evaluation form and school data relating to a current concern, such as attendance, discipline, dropout rate, etc.

School Counselors: Negotiating the Legal and Ethical Complications of Working with Minors in Schools
Dr. Carolyn Stone Room: Harborview The school environment poses competing interests between a students need for confidentiality and the legal rights of parents as established by the U.S. Supreme Court to be the guiding voice in their children lives in value-laden issues. Participants will develop an ethical decision making framework for analyzing and resolving ethical issues through the application of ASCA ethical codes, case and statutory law, school board rules, and community standards. Through small group and large group discussion of 40 case studies, participants will be given the opportunity to increase their understanding of the complexities of respecting a minors right to confidentiality, to develop a sensitivity to the need to consider their actions in context of each situation for each individual student, and to understand the rights of parents. Topics of discussion will include areas such as confidentiality and duty to warn, minors rights to privacy, counselors responsibilities toward suicidal children, civil and criminal liability, sexually active minor clients, birth control, abortion counseling, defamation, child abuse, HIV positive students, case notes and educational records, malpractice in academic advising, sexual harassment, the Hatch Amendment and guidance curriculum, and personal conduct.
Solution Focused Brief Counseling and Parent Consultation

Dr. Russell A. Sabella Room: Williams This experiential workshop is designed for both beginning and experienced school counselors, mental health counselors, social workers, psychologists, educators, other human service professionals, and educators who want to learn an innovative approach to empower their clients/consultees/students to recognize and utilize their resources. This model uses a systematic, five-step approach in which students/parents focus on solutions rather than problems. They are encouraged to think about times when their problems did not exist, and how these times contributed to the absence of the problem, and how to recreate such circumstances in their present situations. Focus is on the students/parents strengths and abilities rather than their weaknesses. Solutions are derived by the students/parents themselves and therefore not only are they more involved in their success, but the solutions fit their unique lifestyles. Finally, because they find their own solutions that work, often selfesteem is increased. With this emphasis of counseling on solutions rather than problems, counseling becomes brief.
