The Support Personnel Accountability Report Card (SPARC) is a continuous improvement tool that gives a school site an opportunity to demonstrate effective communication and a commitment to getting results. Modeled after the School Accountability Report Card (SARC), the SPARC has been developed by an advisory group of Los Angeles County counselors, counselor supervisors, counselor educators, and California Department of Education consultants. This year in California, CESCaL and LACOE are collaborating to present the first "Flashlight" awards utilizing a Pilot program working with 10 schools. Each school will complete a SPARC and a FLashlight PowerPoint. For more information click HERE for information and HERE for a rubric or visit the www.sparconline.net
San Diego State's School counseling prgorams proudly teaches the ASCA National Model and combines this work with the passion for social justice. The mission of the SDSU School Counseling program is to prepare school counselors to become leaders, advocates and systems change agents in our diverse schools. As an integral part of the total educational program for student success, school counselors learn to design, develop, implement and evaluate their comprehensive school counseling program to ensure that every student receives developmentally appropriate competencies in academic, career and personal/social development. School counselors become professional student advocates who promote equity and access to a rigorous education for every student and who work to prevent and remove barriers to learning. Our School Counseling graduates develop themselves as culturally competent leaders in educational reform and social justice in the schools and communities they serve.
The Education Trust works for the high academic achievement of all students at all levels, pre-kindergarten through college, and forever closing the achievement gaps that separate low-income students and students of color from other youth. Our basic tenet is this — All children will learn at high levels when they are taught to high levels.
The Center works with a network of organizations, state departments of education, school counselor professional associations, institutions of higher education and school districts across the country dedicated to transforming school counselors into powerful agents of change in their schools and in the lives of their students.
